How's this for Flashback Friday? Got a text today from Sean, he's still enjoying his original F4 from, well let's say a while ago. I believe this officially qualifies as retro now.

As the cross season is winding down Robert and Philicia Marion finished completely on top of their games, with both of them landing on the top spot of the podium. Can't think of a better way to end the season.👍

Happy New Year everyone! Looking back, 2019 has been an amazing year, and I would like to thank everyone for their amazing support and all the great pictures you shared! Really looking forward to what 2020 will bring.

Role reversal Friday, Philicia Marion racing CX nats and Robert in the supporting role. Philicia showed up with her arm in a cast and despite her injury rode to an impressive 7th place in a strong field. Great result and another great day at CX nationals.

Yesterday was Robert Marion's first race for this year's cross nationals. He sure kept it exciting. After missing the lead group he trailed them by about 5-10 seconds for three laps. A surge in the lead group prevented Robert catching back on, but he rode to a strong top 10 finish. And it didn't rain during his race!

Robert is getting ready to crush at cross

While it's been pretty cold and wet here in the Pacific Northwest, we got some pictures from Noble rider Victor Tataseo. He's enjoying his GX3 on some dry and sunny trails in Tucson.

This week I'm at Taichung Bike Week working on new Noble stuff, and this morning I woke up to a super nice writeup of the CX3 by the good folks of Cyclocross Magazine. If you are thinking about getting a CX3 read the review, I believe it will make you pull the trigger. While not mentioned in the review, white bikes are just plain awesome when covered in mud.

In Review: Noble CX3 Budget-Friendly Cyclocross Bike The Noble CX3 is a $1,999 cyclocross bike with a SRAM Rival 1 build and Stan's tubeless wheels aimed at the budget-conscious crowd. We take a first look.

A little throwback to 2011, lots has changed. Different car, different house, still have the F4 though. Keeping it around for spare parts in case Jason breaks his.😉

An exciting and proud moment for my little bike company. We are one of the sponsors of the Carpediem Racing Pro Cyclocross Team with team riders Robert "The Beard" Marion, and Philicia "Gritty Girl" Marion. Here's a few images of the CX3 in its natural habitat for your viewing pleasure.🤘

Happy Friday from Austin's Walnut Creek trail system. Stephen Ridgway took his new and very shiny GX5 on some single track to shake it down. Looks like a really fun place to ride.👍

Just as we wrap up the week, the good folks at Cyclocross Magazine published their review of the GX5. Click the link below to read the complete review and enjoy your weekend.

Review: Noble GX5 Carbon Gravel Bike with SRAM Force 1 Noble Bikes' GX5 may not be the most well-known gravel bike yet, but should it be? We put the value-oriented, SRAM Force 1-equipped carbon bike to the test.

Triple digit temps in and getting the GX5 out for an evening climb!

This week we share some images from another local GX5. These were sent to us by Andrew Novikoff. Doing a little exploring on his GX5 in the Tacoma area. Looks like he couldn't pass up some single track at Swan Creek👍

Riding Gravel had a GX5 for several months now. Before jumping back into your work week, maybe take a coffee break and read Guitar Ted's final thoughts on the GX5

Noble Bikes GX5 Gravel Bike: At The Finish - Over the last two months (!!) that the final part of this review lasted, I have ridden the Noble GX5 as a "daily driver", taken it out on some of the nastiest roads we've seen in years, and ridden it on "normal" Mid-West roads. Through it all, I have remained impressed with this carbon fiber bicycle

Early bird gets the worm. That's certainly true for Richard Line who did a sunrise exploration with his GX5 in Virginia Beach.

Our gravel group ride did not disappoint. Aaron had prepared a fun and challenging ride with lots of gravel, single track, meadows, bike path and just a little bit of freeway to keep everyone on their toes.

Noble Gravel group ride update. Hi everyone, we are on for the Sunday gravel group ride. We are starting at 10:00am from the ride leaders home. If you are interested in joining us for the ride, sent me an email at [email protected] or message me on Facebook and I will provide you with the address. It's a fun route with lots of gravel, see you on Sunday.

Seattle area people, next Sunday June 23rd we will do a gravel group ride. Aaron Mickels has a bunch of gravel roads right out of his back door and he's put together the route that we will ride next week. We will start at 10:00am. More details to follow on the exact starting location. Here's the route and what to expect. Mostly gravel roads, about 36 miles with 3,000 feet of elevation. Estimated moving time will probably somewhere around the 3 hour mark. Get your gravel bikes ready and join us on the ride!

We all know accidents happen. A bent derailleur hanger or a through axle left in the parking lot is all it takes to ruin a killer day. Don't get stuck on one of your rides or on a trip and get an extra derailleur hanger. Available at the link below.
