If you follow my blog, then you know why we don&#8217;t attend&#8230;if not, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rodbikes.com\/blog\/mission-impossible\/\" target=\"_blank\">here you go<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, I wrote about some of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rodbikes.com\/blog\/at-rodriguez-its-nahbs-every-week\/\" target=\"_blank\">incredibly unique<\/a> Rodriguez bikes we built in 2014. Well, here we go again! 2015 is off to an amazing custom start as well!<\/p>\n<h1>More Custom than Custom!<\/h1>\n<p>This bike is pretty special, and I think you&#8217;ll agree after you&#8217;ve viewed the post. It&#8217;s a combination of our new Rodriguez <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rodbikes.com\/catalog\/model-2014\/micro-tandem-main.html\" target=\"_blank\">Model 2014 tandem<\/a>, our famous <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rodbikes.com\/catalog\/6-pack\/6-pack-main.html\" target=\"_blank\">Rodriguez 6-pack<\/a>, and our old standard, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rodbikes.com\/catalog\/8-ball\/8-ball-main.html\" target=\"_blank\">Rodriguez 8-ball<\/a> convertible (an invention of ours from the 1990&#8217;s that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rodbikes.com\/blog\/the-original-tandem-to-single-bike-convertible\/\" target=\"_blank\">I wrote about<\/a> last year).  So, basically, this puppy is a micro travel bike, and a micro travel tandem all in one. Chances are that you won&#8217;t see anything this challenging to design and build at any bike show you&#8217;ll attend (sorry show attendees).
