What if I want my local mechanic to assemble my custom bike ?

We can ship unassembled bikes and deduct $100 off your bike price.

Do you offer other colors?

Depending on the model we offer different paint options.  We do offer custom paint schemes for a customized look for your ride as well. Contact me for details mike@cobaltbike.com 

What size frame should I get?

Proper frame size is an important part of enjoying your riding experience. The top tube is often the most important factor as seatposts can be adjusted to help with leg length, etc. If you have an existing bike you're comfortable on, measure the top tube from seat post to steer tube and try to get close to that distance. If you're not familiar or don't have an existing bike, see our geometry chart for the bike you're interested in. Here's a general guide:

Road/Gravel

• Size 58-60     Height 6' 0" - 6' 2"
• Size 56-57     Height 5`9″-6`0″
• Size 54-55     Height 5`6″-5`9″
• Size 51-53     Height 5`3″-5`6″

MTBs

• Size 21"      Height 6' 0" - 6' 2"
• Size 19"      Height 5`9″-6`0″
• Size 17"      Height 5`6″-5`9″
• Size 15"      Height 5`3″-5`6″

What's the difference between the Warhawk and the Marauder ?

Both are great bikes, but some of your decision depends on what kind of riding you plan to do. If you want a gravel bike that's comfortable on the pavement or gravel and maybe swing toward cyclocross, the Marauder All Road is the bike for you. "The gravel bike for roadies." 

If you need a bike for all day or multi-day gravel and want to do some bikepacking or hit the single track tails, the Warhawk is your best option. Run the Warhawk with 700c-40 tires for gravel and swap out wheels to 650bs x 2.1” and you have a drop bar MTB. It's a very versatile bike. If you could have one bike...it'd be a Warhwak.

If you’re looking for a gravel bike, I’d go Warhawk. If you want to add a gravel/CX bike for racing that is stil great on pavement, the Marauder is your best bet.
