Name: Colby Cardoza aka Ratto aka Clamato
Position at TPC: Bicycle Buyer
What you ride: Klein Quantum Race Why you ride it: For obvious reasons of course, that ice cream paint job, but pay no attention to that fat and luscious aluminum tubing. All jokes aside, I really love the look of vintage/retro frames with modern components. Old school parts look cool and may be period correct, but given that I’m a young buck, I can really appreciate the functionality of new components. Fun facts: People here at the shop know that I buy, build, and then sell a bike before I can even ride it. This may be true, however I find a great deal of joy in finding frames I love and building them into my own unique pieces of “wall art”. So take a quick look at this beautiful rig folks, because it wont be in my possession very long.
