Testimonials

 

From Doug Thurston, Director of Operations, The Competitor Group, San Diego, CA:  "I travel around the country measuring full and half marathon courses. Finding decent road bikes to rent that are large enough for me (I'm 6'4" and ride a 61-63 cm bike), coordinating the pick-up and return, and renting a car large enough to carry these bikes was a hassle. Bringing my personal bike meant renting a bike case and paying extra fees with the airlines--sometimes as much as $150 each way. It didn't take long to realize the best bet was a bike that I could disassemble and take with me on the plane without extra charges. The Ravello was the perfect answer. It's a quality bike that is comfortable and smooth during all-day measuring work, it assembles and disassembles in less than an hour, and the travel case means I can breeze through airports and check the bike as regular luggage. My Ravello has been used to measure courses in Seattle, Las Vegas, San Antonio, Phoenix, and New Orleans. It will see many more cities in the future. The bike doesn't look "funny" or any different than a high-quality road bike but it sure does attract attention when I tell folks that a bike large enough for me will fit in a suitcase. I highly recommend Ravello Bikes."

 

From Steve Maloney:  "My daughter and I enjoyed our bicycle tour through Switzerland, Germany and Austria.  Without your timely help, we would have had to rent the bikes at approximately twice the cost you charged us to retrofit the frames.  The frames folded and fit into 26" x 26" x 10" soft vinyl baggage.  On this one trip I saved $350 in round-trip airfare for each bike. . . . The two joints you installed on each of our two bikes in no way altered their performance. . . . Never again will I have to pay extra to transport my bicycle. . . ."

       

From Gene Flatt:  "I had Brian convert a Giant road bike to a take-apart bike last year. . . . The longest trip was a 700-mile ride in Alaska.  I did not have any trouble with it, and for travel it is a must.  You can still take two bags free on Southwest Airlines.    My wife has a regular bike box and mine is just as quick to put in the suitcase.  I highly recommend Brian from Ravello Bikes."

 

From Kathy Isznsk:  "I just can only say that Jason and I love the bike.  I have had bike store guys at some of our events come over and check out the bike and all say, "great bike."  We hear that from everyone who passes us along the road as well.  We ride everywhere.  We are climbing hills with ease. . . . . Jason recently had new green pedals added and they really show off the colors we chose."

 

From John Mooney:  ". . . . The bike continues to be highly satisfactory.  I'm sure that if I took off the rack and swapped the wheels out for some lightweight ones, it would ride very similarly to the Mikkelson -- which from my viewpoint is the highest possible compliment. . . . "
