The vision, design excellence, and craftsmanship of Gemini products are unparalleled. When a bike part, which nobody truthfully needs, is bling, haute Couture, highly sophisticated and excels for its purpose… that’s when one discovers the rare synthesis between mechanics and art form. The Rigel is just that.
Having owned nearly every bling part, from Paul, and Chris King, to White Industries, and Klein — And From Carbon Ti, to Campy… it’s rare to stumble upon a part so elegant that it gives you pause to smile. To simply open the package is a delight. This is that rare device, which hybrids better function, with the silence of a smirk — When you know , you know, and here you have made a great choice.
Beyond impeccable craft, and enjoyable followthrough, Gemini’s team creates black-magic from burnt Ash.
As the fate of Campagnolo who are perhaps the closest analog to Gemini has hinged upon a sloppy and disposable public who simple doesn’t give a shit for craft, The Bike industry have shifted to cheap and disposable… The mantle of who will bring the magic back will fall upon our young innovators. Somewhere in the basement of that tradeshow, are table lined with such innovations. Sure you can buy some giant pulleys which shimmer, and you can Swap your bolts out for Anodized Ti. But the desire to do so is born from the boredom of owning the same Asian crap as your buddy.
Gemini, and the Rigel, are that special blend of smart and sexy, that only comes from passion, and dare I say Barcelona. Bravo!
Stay Golden Gemini.
Buy this ring and ride the shit out of it…, and let your friends envy your good taste. Perhaps the industry is prime for a takeover by something sexy, and not just Anodized.
Peace
