GAIA
Explore all the planet has to offer with the GAIA women' specific mountain
bike. Developed by BRENT RUEGAMER from years of racing as a Pro Mountain biker
and Xterra off road triathlon Pro this bike is designed to take you when and where
you want to go, fast! With the GAIA the geometry is always optimized for the best
balance of climbing and descending properties. Featuring specifically built seat
and chainstays to give you the best mud clearing room while still keeping the dimensions
tight for better stiffness and handling.
Each and every GAIA is a one of a kind handcrafted work of art that is custom
made as the rider wishes. With Ruegamer we give the rider many more options than
any other "custom builder" out there. Here at Ruegamer we like to start
out with the riders themselves; we take your size, shape, weight and intended use
all into account when we build your frame. This way we are able to custom tune
the frame to perfectly fit your needs. We
are also specialists in the realm of fitting and making bikes for women. We currently
work exclusively with Jeff and Jacqui Lockwood of Lifesport, who offer coaching,
ergonomics and specialized fitting here in Chandler, AZ. and have conducted studies
of the effect that fit, bike weight and crank length have on women riders.
Of course every GAIA we build is fully custom with its geometry to the rider.
Like sloping top tubes, great! Like a more traditional horizontal top tube, cool,
it'
yours! Want an extended
seat tube all the way up to the saddle?
Done!
We like to let the rider choose their tube size; do you like big fat tubes or
smaller more selvete tubes? Your bike your choice. Then you get to choose
the look of the carbon; do you like unidirectional
material, plain weave or twill weave? Do you like a smaller weave like 3k or do
you like a bigger weave like 12k. The choice is yours! Do you like the look of
internal routed cables or are external cables your deal? You got it, it'
your bike, you choose!
Well, now that you kind of have an overall idea of how your bike is going to look
you get to the single hardest thing with building a custom bike, deciding on the
paint job! We give you the option of a couple of eye-catching schemes to help this
along. You get to choose any two-color stock schemes.
If you want something truly custom of your own design we are very glad to accommodate
your ideas and will work with you to create that very special
custom look you are dreaming of. You can even have us color
match your special favorite flavor of color!
More options you say? In addition with the
basic frame options you are also given the choice from two diameters of an integrated
bottom bracket shell that will suit your choice of cranks as well as the standard
English or Italian threaded shell. Have a special seat post that you want to have
fit your new ride? The option of a 27.2 or 31.6 seat post size, or fully custom
seat tube size is up to you! No one on the planet gives you these kinds of choices!
