what's up guys so today we're at the new REEB factory and we're gonna go in and
get a tour of the factory we're gonna pick up some REEB SQWEEBs I'm gonna be
taking those bikes down to Pueblo Colorado and putting them to the test
let's go check it out
alright guys so this is the new REEB shop and that we have Chris Sulfrian over
here how's it going Chris pretty good man hey thanks for having us
in today I hear and I understand you're gonna give us a tour of the new read
yeah the fabrication shop so if you guys don't know REEB manufacturers all of
their bikes so any bike that you guys pick up from read is gonna be hand
manufactured which means it's probably this guy yeah or adam prosise Pro auce alright so Chris how did this process start I see a bunch
of aluminum sitting here on the table me tell me how the process
starts for REEB Cycles so all these are blanks that we' re gonna machine down
into various parts for the suspension bikes bottom bracket clusters in process
right now so this was actually something that looked like one of these blocks of
aluminum right yeah a little bit bigger than that got in between
got kind of the rough shape that's really cool
yeah the bottom bracket cluster so it's just about to do some of the last
operations and making make the final shape turn them into something like this
so they they start out a little more than four
pounds and then end up about half a pound each alright so we just took a
look at the CNC machine what happens next so once once these bottom brackets
kind of come out of the CNC machine where do they go from there what you
guys do next? now allows us to keep all the critical geometry in the right places in
relation to each other and then after that the seat tube gets welded on there
looks like the front end of a bike yeah there's a whole front frame the whole
front end there so if you guys can see that this is what it ends up looking on
the new REEb Sqweeb oh yeah look at that
that is sweet and Chris you guys do all your painting in house as well too right
yep we do all thepowder coating. so if I said I wanted a candy apple red you guys can make it happen yeah we
did something like that on Jeff's bike that's pretty sweet to match the new
Can'd Aid kids bikes yeah so we'll actually put
something here where you guys can check out Jeff new bike over to his channel
all right so what are we looking at here Chris? this is kind of our welding table where we do all the sweet welding
this is Seat tube that's going on Jeff Lenoskys biket but that's the jeff
lenosky bike get out of town to you that's awesome man me me yeah so we we
moved into the barn here at Lyon's about a month ago and this was the original
Oskar Blues brewery back in the day that the restaurant and right here.
behind you is the pilot room for Oskar Blues so all the this super special new
beers the limited releases stuff that sometimes you can only get in the
restaurants and then all the tests fun new stuff is brewed here
in the new building the pilot so that's pretty cool so this building actually is
where Oskar Blues started it's where dale katechis the owner the
founder of Oskar Blues started off and it kind of comes full circle to where
these guys from REEB now totally rebranding restarting off in the barn
here that's that's awesome all right so Chris just pointed out a
couple other cool things around the outside of the building this building is
old it's been around for a while oh just got a bunch of the original Dale Pale Ale
cans up there you know Dales Pale Ale was the first craft brew to go in a can all the way back in 2002 a
still some of the history is here they're all super sun-faded but got the original design on it.
hanging out it just kinda adds the whole place
alright so Chris is letting us borrow two REEB Sqweebs this weekend we're be
taking those down to Southern Colorado to get out of the snow it's April guys I
cannot believe it's still snowing but check out these bikes they're sweet
what's up guys so we finally made it to Lake Pueblo State Park and I'm with
JC trails if you guys want to see me get arrested and get a ticket check out
his channel got Lewis from crank pushers down here
sweet and we got a bunch of REEB SQWEEBS today I'm gonna be hitting
those up on the trails
doing the broken hip trail so it gets a little technical towards the bottom it's
got a bunch alternate line so we're just going to go in have some fun nice nice
yo nice nice dude nice nice yeah

all right so we're up here at the top of a state Pueblo Park just did a cool
couple sessioning areas there are a ton of alternate lines that you guys can hit
out here they're kind of hidden you got to look for them but got some pictures
of video JC hitting some of those alternate lines would you think dude as
he's eating I catch him eating we'll go we'll go over to you can have a bunch of
fun mix it up here goes JC nice dude yeah buddy
it's tight right it's not bad its that shale dude and you can't see what's coming
around corner he's scarfing
boom so we just finished up it like pull up a Pueblo State Park got the ride to
sqweeb today what'd you think man it's a great bike a great in enduro bike I
think you can really bring this into bike parts to smash climbing it was a
little light on the climbs I mean if we're hitting really steep stuff but I
was an aggressive kind of downhiller style bike and I did that amazingly I
mean there it was a confidence booster I was hitting stuff that I didn't think
I'd hit down here not that there was super techy stuff but we were riding a
lot of it blind so we didn't know it was coming so we just you're able to hit it
but yeah really good bikes come with really great componentry so you got the
MRP the ribbon up front so then you got the three cycles I love how they got the MRP Ribbon up front 160mm of travel thats the Air
like this metal flake in here and looks so cool
so REEB stands for a beer backwards obviously owned by Oskar Blues so they
had to incorporate beer into that those guys are awesome it's all about beer and
bikes nothing wrong with that got the Cane Creek Springs Shock in the back
this thing was super plush really adjustable I really love how you can
just put fix the compression on there it's super easy you don't have to have a
shock pump or anything with you back you know obviously you got the Eagle got the
SRAM GX now these are custom bikes they're custom made to you so you can
put whatever components you want on them up top we kind of got like the standard
KS Lev coming up front you've got the SLX brakes this one has the GX shift
around the front and that really cool
