The Radavist’s Top Ten Readers’ Rides of 2023

Our favorite posts each week come from you, the readers of this website!

Kona Offers Buy One Get One On Process Bikes

This is a wild deal and indicative of what the cycling industry is dealing with right now but there’s no reason you shouldn’t be taking advantage of these offerings.

Thomas sent in his Cinder Cone and the final product included some clever metalwork. Read on to find out and for some of Thomas’ delicious photos!

The Radavist’s Top Ten Readers’ Rides of 2022

We first began featuring Reader’s Rides back in 2011; since then these part-review, part-vignette reader submissions have become a beloved weekly fixture here on The Radavist. This year’s Top Ten Readers’ Rides feature both brand new builds and older frames full of stories that have been given new life. As always they are 100% audience-submitted and the builds highlighted here were chosen based on web traffic and engagement. We love receiving submissions each week so if you have been on the fence about submitting your ride, perhaps this list will motivate you to break out the camera and show off your rig.
