PAUL Component and Sierra Nevada to Donate the “Sierra Oddity” at Sea Otter Classic in a Benefit for CAMTB

This is the 5th time in a row that Sierra Nevada Brewery have asked us (PAUL Component Engineering) to build a bike for them to show off at the Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, which kicks off this week. So, we must be doing something right!

This year we wanted to build something extra unique and special, so we picked up the phone and asked Burnsey over at Oddity Cycles if he was interested. He acted pretty nonchalant about getting it done in time, but how he was able to bend, miter, weld, beadblast, polish and anodize custom logos into such a wild titanium frame, fork and handlebar in the short amount of time we gave him… there’s really only one explanation: He is a real-life WIZARD.

White Industries and Velocity USA sent us raw parts to anodize match “Pale Ale green,” along with our own parts.

Ron from King Cage custom bent us two hollow titanium can cages, and Phil Wood cut us some custom length spokes.

Dynaplug gave us one of their latest Covert bar-end tire plugging systems, and WTB sent us all the black rubber bits we needed to wrap this bike up into one exotic singlespeed dirt cruiser!

Headed to Sea Otter this year? Stop by the Sierra Nevada beer tent and point your eyeballs at this beautiful rig. Donate $5 or more to California Mountain Biking Coalition (CAMTB) by April 29 for an exclusive chance to take home the Sierra Oddity. Your donation to CAMTB will help fuel its ongoing state-level mountain biking and trail advocacy efforts in California, including working with important land managers like CA State Parks and the U.S Forest Service, as well as tracking and influencing state and federal legislation and elections that impact access to public lands and natural resource conservation.
