Hace unos días tuvimos el placer de presentaros lo último de ENVE: la Custom Road Bike. A pesar de esta gran novedad y esta nueva fase en la que se sumerge la marca norteamericana de componentes, su estrecha relación con fabricantes y constructores de cuadros artesanos sigue intacta y con ganas de seguir creciendo juntos. Es por eso que, aún y la difícil situación sanitaria que vivimos, los chicos de ENVE decidieron organizar, el pasado 25 y 26 de junio, la tercera edición del Builder Round-Up.
El evento de dos días consistió en dos actividades principales, el Builder Round-Up en el que se daban cita algunos de los framebuilders más destacados del panorama para mostrar sus últimas creaciones, y el ENVE Grodeo que ofreció la oportunidad de descubrir los caminos y senderos favoritos del equipo que forma la marca y que transcurren por alrededor de las montañas del norte de Wasatch.
Un total de 35 bicicletas totalmente diseñadas y fabricadas por los artesanos invitados se mostraron en la ENVE’s Open House del viernes, como si de un mini NAHBS se tratase. El evento permitió exhibir sus últimas creaciones, ya fuesen bicicletas de carretera, gravel o de montaña fabricadas en acero, aluminio, titanio o carbono.
Pudimos ver acabados de pintura excepcionales, con configuraciones exquisitas y geometrías sutiles. Entre algunas de las piezas más destacadas, encontramos las bicicletas de carretera de Allied, Argonaut, y LOW, la fat bike de titanio de Bingham Built, las MTB single speed de Chumba y FortyFour, la geometría aerodinámica de English Cycles, la bicicleta de gravel de aventura de Firefly, Tomii, y Horse, la all-road de titanio de Holland, las rápidas bicicletas de gravel de Mariposa, Pursuit, Speedvagen, y Rock Lobster, la MTB de estilo antiguo de Retrotec o la bicicleta de paseo de Sklar.
Toda esa celebración de frame builders estuvo rodeada de un ambiente amistoso y festivo donde todos pudieron tener una agradable charla con viejos y nuevos amigos, y disfrutaron de bebidas y comida acompañadas de música en vivo. Además, se organizó una contrarreloj de 2 vueltas (Ogden Trackline Gravel TT de ENVE) alrededor de la pista que suelen utilizar para probar sus bicicletas y divertirse. La carrera estuvo abierta a todos los que quisieran poner a prueba sus habilidades y competir entre risas.
Con un nombre inspirado en la escena del rodeo en la zona, el sábado, hasta 200 ciclistas realizaron una salida en gravel por las pintorescas montañas de Wasatch. El Grodeo se inspiró en algunos de los eventos favoritos de la región, con un toque especial marca de la casa.
La ruta de 148 km y 2.600 m de desnivel positivo, ofreció un desafío para todos aquellos que quisieron participar. Aunque el circuito contaba con algunas secciones cronometradas perfectas para los más competitivos, la idea principal era disfrutar del gravel y compartir el día entre amigos. Este evento brindó la posibilidad de descubrir los caminos y senderos de tierra donde se desarrollaron los productos Gravel Serie G de la propia marca.
El track contó con diferentes secciones con nombres cómicos como el sendero Ace In The Hole, la subida rocosa al 8% Gun Smoke Grind, las secciones cronometradas de grava Pushing Up Daisies y Coffee Boiler, la subida exigente de 14.5 km The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly y el single track final Yellowbelly.

A few days ago we had the pleasure of introducing you to the latest release from ENVE: the Custom Road Bike. Despite the great novelty and this new phase in which the North American component brand is immersed, its close relationship with artisan frame manufacturers and builders continues intact and they are eager to continue growing together. That is why, despite the difficult health situation we are experiencing, the guys from ENVE decided to organize, on June 25th and 26th, the third edition of the Builder Round-Up.
The two-day event consisted of two main activities, the Builder Round-Up in which some of the most outstanding frame builders on the scene gathered to show their latest creations, and the ENVE Grodeo, which offered the opportunity to discover the favorite roads and trails of the brand team around the mountains of North Wasatch.
A total of 35 bicycles totally designed and made by invited artisans were displayed in ENVE’s Open House on Friday, as in a mini NAHBS convention. The event allowed exhibiting their latest creations, whether these were road, gravel, or mountain bikes made out of steel, aluminum, titanium, or carbon.
We were able to see outstanding paint jobs, with exquisite configurations, and subtle geometries. Among the most relevant pieces, we could find the road bikes of Allied, Argonaut, and LOW, the titanium fat bike of Bingham Built, the single-speed MTBs of Chumba, and FortyFour, the aero geometry of English Cycles, the discovery gravel bike of Firefly, Tomii, and Horse, the titanium all-road of Holland, the fast gravel bikes of Mariposa, Pursuit, Speedvagen, and Rock Lobster, the old-school style MTB of Retrotec, or the touring bike of Sklar.
All that celebration of frame-building was surrounded by a friendly and festive atmosphere where everyone could have a nice chat with old and new friends, and enjoy drinks and food accompanied by live music. Moreover, they organized a 2-lap time trial (ENVE’s Ogden Trackline Gravel TT) around the track line they normally use to test their bikes and amuse themselves. The race was open to everyone who wanted to test their skills and compete in between laughs.
With a name inspired by the Rodeo scene in the area, on Saturday, up to 200 riders went on a gravel ride through the picturesque Wasatch Mountains. The Grodeo took inspiration from some of the favorite events of the region, with some ENVE twists along the way.
The 92-mile and 8.500-feet (148 km and 2.600 m) route delivered a challenge unlike anything else out there. Even though the track featured some timed sections for the most competitive ones, the main idea was to enjoy the gravel ride and share the day with friends. This event granted the possibility to discover the very dirt roads and trails where the G Series gravel products were developed on.
The course featured different sections with comical names like the single track Ace In The Hole, the 8% rocky climb Gun Smoke Grind, the gravel timed sections Pushing Up Daisies and Coffee Boiler, the 9-mile (14.5 km) demanding climb The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, and the final single track Yellowbelly.
