Episode two of The Tinstreamer Podcast is on and - LINK IN PROFILE - The first time I heard the name Justin Rex, I was working at in Salida, Colorado. was pondering whether he needed an XL or L Bodega frame bag. He called the shop and we chatted about his bike frame size and eventually settled on the large. It was early 2019, and I shipped that bag off to Lubbock, Texas. A few months later I was reunited with that Large Bodega frame bag and met Rex in person. He was a graduate student and instructor for and Adventure Media Class. I was there covering the class for We spent five days biking and camping in the remote with 16 students. I was forever changed on that 2019 spring break trip. Since then, Justin and I have worked on numerous projects together from kiteboarding with to chasing aoudad on the Caprock Escarpment with —. Chase down the bags and you’ll build lifelong friendships and your professional dreams will come true. Go give this episode a listen. You won’t regret it!! 📷

Performance Reimagined - the New OSTRO is here.

We took everything that made the original the best bike in the peloton and amplified it: lighter, more aerodynamic, faster, and just as stiff.

Designed by cyclists, scientifically developed, and manufactured in our own factory, the new OSTRO VAM sets the standard for the ultimate modern racing bike thanks to state-of-the-art design and engineering.

It’s the OSTRO VAM you love, but faster.
