This is a project that has been a long time coming. Our good buddy @flakzeshman requested something totally one-of-a-kind, and we think this beautiful @mermanbicycles delivered! This frame has been sand blasted to achieve a smooth finish, and then treated with a special formula to allow the frame to rust and patina over time, but without allowing the rust to penetrate the metal. Zak picked out these gorgeous wheels and headset from our friends at @industry_nine and we expect the frame finish to achieve a similar color tone over time. Titanium handlebars, a crank with a hole in it and our new local favorite trail tires from @continental_tire round out this stellar single speed trail ripper. This bike is Stillwater AF and we couldn’t be more stoked on how it turned out! We better see you at @singlespeedoklahoma next year Zak! ❤️ by @mermanbicycles

We put out my Mega @midsouthgravel piece today (go read it at @bikepackingcom ), but there were some gems that didn’t make the cut. Kendra is one of the special parts of Stillwater that you’d be lucky to meet if you make the journey. A heck of an athlete in her own right, I got to shoot her wonderful Merman while I was in town for the race. Quick witted but about as kind as the day is long, she’s one of the many people I feel lucky to have gotten to know in my time taking part in what they put on at the Mid South. taken in Stillwater, Oklahoma by @mermanbicycles

Our homie @baylor_mcpherson came to @singlespeedoklahoma last year and broke his bike immediately. He rode a loaner from @mermanbicycles and he couldn’t get it out of his head. So for THIS years edition of SSOK, he’ll be rolling on his very own Unholy Diver Singlespeed! Choice components from @canecreekusa, @wolf_tooth_comp and @industry_nine round out his dream machine. Also peep that @ride5dev stem matched with the dropper and pedals 🤌 We’ve got a couple more frames in stock, come in sometime and check out the raddest hardtail in the game! by @mermanbicycles

If you have a do-it-all bike, you might as well do it all.

It’s Taylor. I grew up and cut my teeth on the mountain bike trails in Nebraska. As proof here’s me building out my first shop employee bike, a karate monkey with a sick white fox fork. We stayed way too late one night at @cycleworksnebraska putting it together. Sorry Kris.

I spent many days at Wildnerness and Platte River, and I always try to find an hour or two making @averagejoelpedaler drag me around the new stuff when I’m back home.

So when @thor_trails asked if we would support this year’s Trailfest, I absolutely said yes. There is a ton of great momentum for trails in Nebraska right now, and we are pumped to get this bike frame in somebody’s hands to support the trails I (we all) love in Nebraska.

Enter the raffle, support more trails, and maybe snag an Unholy Diver in the process. Love you.
