You won’t find this “Best Of” mountain bike out on every trail. That’s because, frankly there aren’t many out there - each Sycip Diesel is handcrafted in Sonoma County, California and each is a single-speed. So it’s just not for everyone. But if it is for you, you have the opportunity to really make it your Sycip Diesel. As the company says on its Web site: “… some of our happy customers have made their pilgrimage to our fabrication Shangri-la and left with a smile on their face, a song in their heart and a custom ride they can truly call their own.” There’s an outrageous selection of wet paint and powdercoat colors, a variety of sizes, a range of custom lugs, and a wide array of components. It all adds up to a truly unique bike. But it’s not only unique, it’s also a great performance bike—just what you’d expect from Sycip, a company that started out building rides for San Francisco bike messengers and now builds for world class racers and anyone else who appreciates a really fine customized bikr. From Formula Oro Puro disc brakes and red Phil Wood hubs to signature seatstays and cast bronze head badge, the Diesel is built to ride.
