"For those interested in trying a low trail 650B randonneuring bicycle without the wait and expense of a custom built frame, the Rawland rSogn is a great deal. There are many happy owners who ride long brevets on these bikes."

Knew It All Along

Check this article out: 650b Wins XC World Cup

Here is a quote from the article: "Our conclusion after those tests was that it's not a compromise – it combines the best of both worlds and we're totally convinced this is the way to go." Interestingly, Rawland reached the same conclusion five long years ago. That was when Dirt Rag bestowed upon Rawland its first of three straight Interbike Best of Show recognitions.

This validates Rawland's design philosophy, despite the constant naysayers, both locally and in the blogsphere, Rawland endured during its formative years in Southern Minnesota.

What a great way to start the week.
