Usually we strive to get photography done and posted for each custom bike we do with the expectation that we will showcase the bike both in social media and advertising as the bike is being delivered to the customer.

What happens when you give one of our Sage Factory Team riders a GoPro and set the team loose on a mixed surface group ride through the streets and backroads of Portland, OR.? Lots of miles and lots of fun!
When the opportunity came up that we could send a bike to Cycling Weekly for a review, we jumped at the chance. We knew we wanted to send something special and what better than to send one of our all new 2021 Barlow bikes with a Cerakote finish to add that extra bit of bling. […]
