Durability, low maintenance, variety

Rohloff Hub Graphic

Instead of a bike with a Rohloff hub installed, think of a Rodriguez Makeshift™ as a Rohloff Speedhub with a bike built around it. Our head frame builder, Todd, worked for the Rohloff company in Germany in the early 2000's and has special insight into optimizing the design for bikes using a Rohloff Speedhub. We've developed and manufactured specific braze-on fittings, dropouts, and other unique exclusive features (like our stem mounted shifter doohickey) that make our Rohloff equipped bicycles something special. Our customers find our bikes easier to use and travel with. Just like all Rodriguez bicycles, the Makeshift™ series is guaranteed to fit comfortably.

Made in USA At Rodriguez Bicycles, we know Rohloff and IGH equipped bikes. We've built hundreds of them at this point. Over the last several years, our Makeshift™ line of custom Rodriguez bicycles has become a standard of sorts in the industry, and one of our better selling models.

A lot of Rodriguez Makeshift™ customers select the travel upgrade for ease of taking their bike on vacation with them.

WARNING! Not all Rohloff bikes are the same
Most builders who make Rohloff bikes use Rohloff's 'click box' design for shifting. While this makes the bicycle easier to manufacture, it has caused problems for some of our Rohloff customers. At Rodriguez, we go the extra mile and build some custom braze-ons to make your life easier. If you're interested in reading about those differences, click here
