This year, we're taking on the big guys who have all of their bikes built overseas! At Rodriguez, your bike will be carefully designed and hand built custom for you right here in Seattle U.S.A! The ride, comfort, and high performance of a Rodriguez steel Outlaw frame has been time tested. Now you can own one of our famous bikes for the same kind of $$ you'd lay down for a mass-produced carbon bike.
You won't pay a weight or performance penalty either. Dollar for dollar, our Outlaw bikes are lighter than Trek, Specialized, Cannondale....you name it. And performance? Just ask our customers about that!
Why not buy local?
Other builders wonder how we hand build bicycles in Seattle U.S.A for the same pricing as the big guys who have an overseas company mass produce their bikes. The example above is our $4,700 Outlaw Pro with a few of our upgrade options added to it in order to get it to the price and weight of the Tarmac Pro.
Since 1973, we've been out here in Seattle building bicycles for the best customers a company could hope to have. When you buy a Rodriguez, you're paying for full page ads in magazines or other high budget overhead. You're just buying the bike from the folks who made it. We've been doing this longer than just about any of the big names you see advertised. At Rodriguez, we use our experience to bring you not only the best value in a custom bicycle, but also the best service we can provide. We do not have a big advertising budget, and you won't see any advertisements for our bikes in big national magazines.
Like I always ask: Why buy a bicycle, when you can buy the whole shop?
