Made in San Francisco - A Visit to Outer Shell Adventure

During a recent trip to the Bay Area we stopped by the Outer Shell workshop to see what Kyle and Jim were up to. Last Fall we met up with these guys for a #CoffeeOutsideSF ride to Battery Wagner, followed by some sweet gravel shredding around the Marin Headlands. With no bike, and no time to ride, this time we opted for a quick visit to see what was new in the land of extremely dope bike gear. Here are a few shots we took that beautiful afternoon in the Mission District.

A Visit to Thesis Bike and OB1 First Ride Impressions

We recently visited the co-founders of gravel bike startup Thesis in San Francisco, California. Randall Jacobs and Alice Liu invited me to their downtown workshop to check out their new any-road machine and take it for a test ride. What became very clear early on is how their values, experience and interests have led them to build Thesis, a truly unique kind of bike company.

THESIS Opens OB1 Bicycle Pre-Sales

Earlier this week Thesis Bike opened US pre-sales to the general public for their OB1, a high-end carbon gravel bike that claims to be the “one bike for every road”. Taking a direct-to-consumer approach, Thesis has worked directly with factories to deliver a highly attractive build starting at just $2999.
