Speedvagen Rugged Road

Also on display in the SRAM booth was a Speedvagen Rugged Road. Speedvagen is the semi-production side project of Portland’s Sacha White and Vanilla Workshop. It has produced road and ’cross bikes for years but recently stepped into the road plus category with the Rugged Road.

Like the Rodeo, it had Zipp 303 Firecrest wheels and 650b x 47mm WTB Byway tires under its painted-to-match fenders. It also featured a SRAM eTap HRD groupset and a matching Zipp Service Course SL stem.
