Rawland Cycles
We only stopped for a few minutes at the Rawland booth, but it was long enough to realize two things: Sean Virnig, the owner, is a really nice guy, and he puts out some really good-looking bicycles. The TIG welded frames are made possible with the help of industry veteran Kirk Pacenti. His 650B frames are designed for all around riding—faster than a 26″ wheel, sturdier than a 700c.
Virnig is of Viking heritage, and so his bikes have Norwegian names: The singlespeed is called Olaf and Sogn is the geared bike. Visit www.rawlandcycles.com for more information.

Thanks for letting us know about these guys. I was just thinking I should invest in a bike that was actually customized to my specs, since I’ve never had a bike like that. Their cSogn bike is 100% the kind of bike I love and it’s built tough. I wish I could review it for you guys.

I was also really impressed with the Rawland bikes. They look like sturdy, fun every day bikes. Great attention to details and really reasonable prices.
