Most suitable build for any Moots road frame!
We utilize Campagnolo Record or Super Record, Shimano Dura Ace, or SRAM Red component groups for our classic build up of a Vamoots sport touring frame. We modify each parts group for best performance, ergonomics, reliability and beauty to suit your personal needs. The bike pictured was built for a lawyer from Northern California for long distance touring that includes mountain passes. The SRAM Red group has been augmented with a substitute chain, derailleurs and bottom bracket for lower gearing and better reliability over the long haul. A Moots titanium Open Road stem and Cinch seatpost are the only way to go with this classic Moots bike. Stock handlebar is an FSA K-Wing Compact. A handbuilt Dreamride wheelset, constructed from Campy Record or Chris King R45 hubs, Mavic Open Pro or CXP33 rims (we may substitute Zipp, DT or Campy rims or complete wheels), and DT spokes continues the theme of performance, reliability, light weight, ease of maintenance and classic beauty in harmony with the grouppo. We specify a Brooks Swallow Titanium-railed leather saddle and matching bar tape in honey, antique brown or black. A Chris King headset and titanium King Cage waterbottle cages add elegance and functionality, further continuing the theme of longevity and ease of maintenance. This bike has Time Carbon pedals, but you can choose any pedal you like. The bike pictured uses Schwalbe Durano tires that not only match the saddle and bar tape, but are fast and extremely durable for the long haul. The Dreamride Classic build is easy to love, a favorite. You will never grow tired of the feel or the look of this combination of high quality parts in a package tuned to your body and riding needs. Bike pictured above weighed in at just under 17 pounds complete. CALL 1-888-MOABUTAH to order or EMAIL FOR MORE INFO.
Shipping in the continental United States is included. Add $275 to include a Serfas hardshell flight case. Each bike is immaculately built in Moab, Utah by Lee Bridgers.
*If you want to work within a price point, call and we will get you there in style. We are not averse to using selected, tested mid-range parts to get the price down without sacrificing performance. We have tricks. Toll free technical support before, during and after purchase.

Dreamride Edition Distance Racer
Moots Vamoots (RSL or CR)
To keep this build at the high water mark for quality and performance, we have chosen the Campagnolo Super Record group (Campy Record, SRAM Red, Shimano Dura Ace and substitute price point combinations remain options at lesser cost). As do all Dreamride builds, the Distance Racer is custom built for you and your needs. The Moots Vamoots CR and RSL frames are top dog American road frames and deserve an ultimate build. The stock wheelset for the Distance Racer includes a Record hubs and a choice of Mavic rims with custom DT spokes. We will substitute handbuilt wheels with Zipp rims and Chris King R45 hubs or any Campagnolo carbon wheelset, if you are looking for race day wheels. The fork is a stock Moots item painted to match the frame. We offer saddles from Fizik, Selle Italia, and Brooks. King headsets always. King bottom brackets whenever appropriate. The listed price includes FSA Carbon parts to reduce weight effectively. Moots Open Road stem and Cinch seatpost are stock items, but you may substitute FSA K-Force, Deda Zero Nero or any other proven product to get to the weight and look you want. This build can be as light as 15 pounds including pedals and cages. All builds are carefully color-keyed. Several different paint and anodizing options are available for ulitmate personalization, including wild custom paint (example pictured above) by Lee Bridgers, Dreamride owner. CALL 1-888-MOABUTAH to order or EMAIL FOR MORE INFO.
Whether you are riding with your buddies in wine country, want to kick their butts and show up at the Inn fresh for a night on the town or if you are a privateer racing on weekends in the summer months, we have the tool for the job. If you want to keep the pressure on for an entire century ride or want a bike that will keep you fresh for the sprint, here it is. We cannot give you quads of iron and lungs the size of a whiskey barrel, but we CAN put a perfect machine under you.

This is what happens when you call and say you want a Moots road bike at a specific price point. While it is not reasonable to expect a new Moots road bike to come in lower than $5500 without compromising performance to the point of being ridiculous, this is the best way to cram as much quality as possible into a specific budget. The bike pictured is an example. It arrived at its total cost within a limit of $6500. When someone calls for a price point build we have many ways to bring the price down that simply do not compromise performance or good looks. This bike, for example, benefited from a last minute promotional sale by a distributor. Use of in-stock parts brings pricing down. Paying with wire transfer or personal check will bring the price down at least $100.
Each bike is given much attention to creative parts selection, then detailed and immaculately built by Lee Bridgers.
Here are two 50cm Moots Compact frames constructed differently and set up with vastly different parts groups. One cost $10.9K, the other, $6.5K. For $10,875 the client got a customized frameset, a labor intensive high quality paint job that will increase in value over the years, a Campy Super Record 8 piece group, a custom handbuilt wheelset with Campy Record hubs and bladed spokes, a lot of attention to cosmetics in the parts group, and enough exotic carbon fiber to bring the total weight down to 15.5 pounds. Dreamride Edition bike clients also get invites to stay and ride with us in Moab. For $6,500 the price point bike weighs less than a pound more (16.3 pounds total weight with pedals). It has a SRAM Rival group spiced with a SRAM Red crankset, a Moots ti seatpost, a Fizik Arione saddle, an FSA Wing Pro handlebar, Thomson stem and a Dreamride wheelset with Chris King hubs. The good news is that both clients are very happy with their choices. It is all about priorities. If you can afford to invest in a fine art paint job and a Super Record group, you will be very, very happy. If you choose to get a straight up stock Moots frame built with a solid Dreamride parts pick that will not break the bank, you will also be very happy.
Dreamride La Sal Mountain Loop Road Editions
This "Super Commuter" can be off-road capable!
Available on all Moots Vamoots and Moots Psychlo-X frames
The La Sal Mountain Road parts group
The La Sal Mountain Road's front end, can feature Nitto Mustache bars and bar end shifters, any suitable drop handlebar (add in-line brake levers, as well as a variety of systems based on a Moots ti flat bar--see example below with Dirt Road Flyer mods). The mustache bar cockpit includes the necessary custom-szed Moots ti stem. Save several hundred dollars with the option to substitute a stock Thomson stem and post, or any other suitable offering. The Dreamride-built wheels come with Chris King or Phil Wood hubs (road or cyclocross) and Mavic Open Pro road, CXP or A-series rims (Zipp carbon rims are options at additional cost). You can subsitute a suitable factory-built wheelset, if need be.
We use an effective mixture of high end drivetrain components that can be straight-up road, a combination of road/mountain/CX, chosen for your specific use. We use Shimano, Campy or SRAM component groups and mix them up for best value and reliability. Choose from FSA, Campy, Shimano or SRAM crankests in compact or standard, mated to a brutally strong, fast shifting and easily serviced Conex Wipperman chain and SRAM Red, SRAM XX or Campy Record cassette. SRAM, Campy, Shimano, Zero Gravity or Paul brakes stop the bike. There are disc brake options with the Psychlo-X frame.
For comfort and longevity our chosen saddle is a Brooks Swallow ti-railed saddle with matching bar tape.
We spec Moots forks exclusively. The build produces a classic, speedy, momentum-building bicylce that treats your body with courtesy. It's about going faster, safer, efficiently and more reliably in comfortable classic style. If you live in San Francisco, Marin, DC, Portland or Seattle--this bike is perfect for urban commuting and recreation. If you ride in traffic, you will dearly love this build. Moots Vamoots versions are around 18.25 pounds with pedals. The Moots Psychlo-X bike pictured with Mustache bar is 20.5 pounds. Other Loop builds have come in at 17 pounds. If you want a super commuter we will specify mounts and install custom racks, lighting and fenders. CALL 1-435-259-6419 or EMAIL FOR MORE INFO.
"The bike you built is amazing. The fit is perfect and I seem to like those mustache bars more each time I ride with them. The saddle is comfortable and light. The one thing I've been a little sheepish about telling you is that I like the bike so much that I want to ride it all the time. So if I have a letter to mail, I'll hop on and ride down the the mailbox; if it's a nice day, I'll keep on going to the post office. Gallon of milk? Be right back. I put a pair of flat pedals on it for everyday use, which lets me take it out when the girls are riding their bikes. It makes it even more into the kind of bike that an adult would use if he were still, really, riding like a kid. I've used the Speedplays for longer rides and a pedal wrench makes it easy just to swap back and forth. So you said this is the perfect bike if you just want ONE bike; I keep finding new ways that I can try to use it. There aren't enough nice things that I can say." ~ L. Zant, Washington, DC ~ See complete testimonial and links to client's email at CLIENT TESTIMONIALS.
With the price of gas going up, we are putting new focus on commuter bikes that are fun to ride and can handle recreational and practical duties. Below is our "Loop" parts kit, a fantastic all-around bicycle that can handle century rides and, with the right Moots frame, will handle off-road trails. If wet or very cold weather is an issue with your commute, Moots has recently released a Rohloff and fender kit that turns our Loop build into a storm chaser.
The La Sal Mountain Road build was originally inspired by Moab's weird and lonely mountain backroads. This group is for the long haul over mountainous terrain and, if you choose the CX version, it takes into consideration the temptation to venture off-pavement. Based on a Moots Vamoots standard, CR or RSL, or Moots Pscyhlo-X cyclocross frame with or without a YBB rear end, this build is designed to handle rough, difficult road conditions, steep climbs and descents, allowing you to enjoying the scenery without becoming part of it. A Psychlo-X frame with a variant of this rugged and light build can be a road and trail bike, a commuter, and/or cyclocross race bike.
A Vamoots sport touring frame with the Mountain Road build will keep you fresh on a century ride. The Loop Mountain Road build is not meant for a road racing, but don't count it out. In many demanding situations it is as faster than a racer for a recreational rider, and always friendlier in traffic. This is the most comfortable classic road bike you are going to find anywhere! It is built to FIT like a glove, be comfortable, reliable, efficient, smoooooth, and fast over a variety of road surfaces and conditions. The drivetrain is custom geared to your needs.
Click on PSYCHLO-X for more info on La Sal Loop builds currently available. Only want to own ONE bike? With the Psychlo-X frame the La Sal Loop Road is a fantastic all-around BICYCLE!--a city commuter that can easily perform those simple, yet abusive maneuvers that help you AVOID traffic. With or without YBB suspension, it can be your weekend singletrack bike that can get you to the trail and back, as well. With YBB, you will find rooted singletrack to be a breeze--lock it out when you don't need it (use it to load the spring with or without sag to tweak geometry on the fly).
We can do magic with Moots as a partner. There are several frame configuration and many detail options as well as the ability to customize just about anything on the frame and bike. With Moots' Psychlo-X frame so close to their Mooto-X 29er we can piece together parts from both to produce a bike that can handle pavement, carriage trails, fire roads and technical singletracks. This build can produce a fine cyclocross racing bike that can double as your century bike, road tourer and mountain bike. You will end up commuting to work on it because it will beg you to do so.
Expect the complete package with build, shipping costs and hardshell flight case to be close to the price listed above. For the only full suspension mountain bike that can be considered an excellent choice for rides that include road surfaces as well as trails, click on MOOTS MOOTO-XZ RFT while this frame is available and on sale at a discount.
Customize it: Dreamride can customize the complete bike (S&S Couplers, YBB, supersmall, extra large) and kit to suit a sizing need, special riding conditions or to reduce weight. The La Sal Mountain Loop build we do for the Vamoots and Psychlo-X is a good place to look for examples of light commuting bikes. EMAIL for more information.
