BEERS TO YOU!

Yesterday as you may or may not know we sent the very first Vamoots RSL out into the world. The end customers name is Jeff. I’ll leave off his last name to protect his identity and keep others from searching him out and harassing him to ride/touch or even swipe his new rig. Through the shop we got to know a little bit about Jeff….he is now a 2 Moots owner (has a Ybb in the stable) and now will add the RSL. He rides….a lot. To us this really makes us smile, knowing that our hard work, attention to detail, blood, sweat and even some tears (sorry Butch but you are a crier) will go to a great cause. Mile after mile, for a lifetime to come…… that’s what gives us great happiness in a bike geek/builder kind of way.

Speaking from my point of view, the RSL is a true milestone in the evolution of Moots. I’ve been around and worked for Moots for 15+ years(not to say I’ve seen everything or that I’m old as dirt), but in my time at Moots I’ve seen some great ideas come to realization and I’ve seen some that you’ll never know about. Points on the Moots map if you will; Ybb made of Prestige steel, the very first Titanium Ybb, the aero TT bike that went to Vegas (a total one off never to be made again) stems with removable face plates that have been refined, I saw the very first classic Moots Ti seat post in 1994, as well as Cinch post prototypes two years before you saw the final riding testing abusing…as well as other projects too numerous and boring to list……great products from great people at Moots.

All of those products have always had the touch, feel and quality we’ve come to expect from Moots. The RSL is no different. From my point of view inside Moots it was an amazing project to be part of…from the concept on the grease board, going after this frame tube by tube to hit the goals we wanted to achieve, to seeing our first baby leave the nest (tear)….truly a group effort on all fronts. From the miter shop, to welding, through finishing and all the cool stuff the CNC department made that goes into the RSL….my co-workers “pulled through” to make this bike fly!

Here’s to the crew that makes the magic at Moots.
Well done and thanks!
Cheers!
