NICA Benefit Bike Collab
Austin Ridge Riders is proud to be part of this unique collaboration between local rider Wes Crow, Peddler Bike Shop, Dialed Bike Co., Freeride 512, and Bike Farm. We covered a small portion of the build, which is being sold on Pinkbike with proceeds to benefit Texas NICA!
Here is what Wes, the man behind the idea had to say about it…
Dubbed the Huck Hunter, this is a rare find for vintage sports memorabilia collectors! These Kyle Straight owned, and signed, 2017 Rampage Ready, Stans, 27.5 unridden wheel set /bike, is a must-have for any serious collector or rider. These wheels have never been ridden and are in excellent shape, making them a great addition to any collection or ready to get rowdy.The vintage aspect of this item adds to its appeal, with a retro Kyle S and Stans inspired camo, hydro dipped design that is sure to catch the eye of any fan. Kyle swears by Stans still today and whether you're a collector or just looking for a unique ride, this unridden wheel set is a great choice. Don't miss out on the opportunity to add this rare item to your collection!
After acquiring these wheels and unable to build a suitable bike around them for myself, I was inspired by personal mental depression, to find a way to use them anyhow ,and perhaps benefit others. I then rallied 5 local bike shop owners and mtb entities to collectively donate their time and budget to build up a ride suitable to sell and then donate the proceeds to N.I.C.A. Then, on a miraculous rip through Texas, Kyle signed these bad boys at the 2023TTP Slalom Shootout held at Reveille Peak Ranch.
