Rob's Scarab Santa Rosa

This week we're featuring Rob's Scarab Santa Rosa.

Rob came to Signature for a fit session back in 2022 and after spending some time contemplating a new custom bike purchase, he decided it was time to make an investment that would last him a lifetime.  This is his first bike with disc brakes and electronic shifting, and also his first time running a tire larger than 700x26.

For this bike we went with 700x32 Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR tires, an excellent race tire that glides over rough roads.  The volume of a 32mm tire paired to a custom steel frame is guaranteed to provide excellent ride quality on any road surface, and Rob loves the way this bike rides.

The supple nature of the ride quality of this Santa Rosa is further enhanced by the Colibri Damping System, which refers to the integration of the carbon seat tube and seat mast.  The inclusion of the CDS ensures that a wider range of road vibration frequencies are absorbed by the frame and less vibration makes it to the saddle. The gloss unidirectional carbon looks amazing in the sunlight as well.

The custom paint job is a real head-turner.  Rob selected his favorite colors for this combination and the fade is expertly done.  The way the orange breaks the red and black makes this bike stand out in a very unique way.  I've seen a lot of red and black bikes, which are fine, but the inclusion of orange elevates this paint job to a whole other level.

We wish Rob all the best with his custom Scarab Santa Rosa.  Congratulations Rob!
