Adventure bike cycling

I am, unashamedly, a huge gear nerd. I’m also a bit of a perfectionist, and having been cycling around the world for more than three years now I’ve had ample time in the saddle, literally thousands of hours, to puzzle over optimising my bike and gear setup.

Today, we're elated to announce a project that has been in the works for some time: our own special and limited edition Radavist Mosaic GT-2X complete bikes.

I don’t get new bikes very often these days. I’m pretty much a one-bike kinda guy. So, when the one complete bike I had in my possession (a Tumbleweed Prospector) got stranded in Nepal for an indefinite amount of time in March of 2020, I hit up Sean over at The Cub House to see what kind of bike I could get my hands on at the very beginning of the pandemic bike boom.
