Pro Cable Routing

by

  Confession: the cable routing on most the bikes here at the Bermstyle HQ look like utter shite. I often leave cables long as it feels like I’m constantly moving things around and swapping out components. (I also never have free time between the day job and all the side hustles) It doesn’t mean I’m […]

What Size MTB Do I Buy? MTB Sizing Angst, Explored

by

Buying the correct size mountain bike used to be easy. For me, being near an average height of 5’10”, a size medium bike was generally the right choice — sometimes.

Viral Bikes Skeptic Prototype

by

When Viral Bikes founder Steve Domahidy said he had a one-piece carbon/stem combo in the works I wasn’t quite sure what to think. When I saw it in person though, it generated quite a few thoughts. It has a unique aesthetic that you can’t help but look at, and in my case, jump on the […]
