Meet Analog: Shop tour and interviews for an off the grid Riv Dealer

[James / Analog Cycles]

We finally put a video together that gives some flavor of the shop, what we do, what it's like to walk into Analog Cycles.  

Here's the final cut, a good way to kill 3 minutes.  You'll spot lots of Riv bits in the vid, as well as Tanglefoot stuff, Fifth Season stuff, and loads of steel frames.

Thanks for posting this, James.

Interesting video.

What bar tape is this? https://youtu.be/MaruFJYwJ8Y?t=15

And, after the nice Atlantis, what make and model is the drop-barred, down-tube-shiftered (!) fat bike?

After riding 70 mm wide, 30 1/2" tall WTB Rangers, the 61 mm, 29.3/5" tall Big Ones seem skinny and hard. I'd like to try 80 mm.

You're welcome, David.

The tape is an unreleased (maybe one day!) wool bar tape we are working on.

The bike is a Tanglefoot Bull Thistle, which is a roadfat bike made for 26 x 4 tires on 65mm wide rims, or 27.5 x 3.5 or 29 x 3 tires.  Quill stem, mostly lugged, made to order by Alex Meade in Mass, painted by Hot Tubes.  No custom geo, but it does have custom paint included.   Tough enough for loaded touring, but mainly geared toward overnights or long rides where the road is bad, or really muddy, or loose.  83mm wide BB so the Q factor is not nearly as bad as a standard fat bike.  Go wide and go low!  You could run these tires around 7 psi when not in the snow, 5 or less in the snow.

That Tanglefoot is sweet. I know it's sacrilege but I'd put a mid-drive kit on it for the bombest rad ebike, ever!

Highly enjoyable and really well-done. One thing that wasn’t emphasized in the video but that deserves praise is Analog’s color artistry. They can get their hands on colors you never dreamed parts could come in. It really makes a bike special, and for the type of bikes they do - long-lasting adventure machines customers will enjoy for years - these details mean a LOT. I’ve had their work on both of my bikes and I appreciate those details every day. With the metallic blue Clem, they were able to go pretty funky, and they did. They rainbow’d my spoke nipples, anodized my valve stems and caps in bright colors, chose brightly-colored,polished,  mismatched hubs (one red, one burnt orange) and dyno lights in complementary colors to those hubs. I notice those details every single day, and I love them.

You do good work, James and Candice!

Thanks. The WTB Rangers are making me wish for a drop-bar'd fat-tired bike. Must think of other things .... (or maybe remove fenders and put Rangers on the Matthews ...).
