It took a long time, but here it is...Ventana!

I don't know much about bikes but I know I like this one! Beautiful.

That's a beauty! :beer:

How super light is it?

Weighs in at about 27 lbs.

nice frame and build, Ventana is one of the few manufacturers of American-made bikes left.

Sherwood and Teresa at Ventana were amazing. Sherwood spent time with me on the phone answering questions and giving ideas. Teresa kept me informed every step of the way during the frame build. They got it done quicker than what I would have expected, and the frame arrived perfect and ready for build. Ventana is one class act.

:beer:

yeah, but it's Sherwood's passion (owner Ventana MTB) and aside from the fact the frames are such a sweet ride, it's a big part of what makes the bikes so special. I think that if he couldn't get his own hands on the elemental level on constructing frames, I think Ventana would be no longer.

Anyway, nice looking steed Carla! Now go get her dirty for real!

[Mudman]

looks good!

 

[ShugaMama]

Gorgeous ride! You will be very pleased with the ride and the support from Ventana. I am dreaming of a Ventana single(I currently am the stokestress of the big red ECDM) possibly an El Ciclon????

chees a beaaaauty!

 

[KBL]

+1 for a freakin' gorgeous bike!

I like the way the company worked with you on the sizing and geometry. I'm planning to get a few more years out of my current frame, but Ventana is definitely on the list when the time comes.

 

[Schecky]

Best bikes ever.
Beautiful pics!

 

[duke777]

WOW is understatement!

 

[ray321]

Very very nice.

 

[sdyeti]

<--- is green with envy

Looks awesome!!! Can't wait to hear how it handles on the trails.

Just curious (b/c I'm in the height-challenged dept too)...what is the top tube length on it?

 

[DaddyRydz]

Oh My! She's (He's?) a pretty ride, for shure. Congratulations!

 

[Danimal]

Gorgeous...
And I'm partial toward white which makes it even nicer!!!
Enjoy the ride, and be sure to report back on how she rides!
