The Rambler continues a fine tradition in cycling... the drop bar all-arounder! It's capable of gravel centuries, quick road loops, light touring, b-roads, and of course daily life. The Rambler is a fully modern adaptation of the genre with disc brakes, thru axles and generous tire clearance. The world is vast and so are the possibilities, the Rambler invites you to fully explore them all. 

It has all the mounts a rider could want, and geometry that is quick and fun while still being comfortable for long days in the saddle. As with all Wilde's, we build our bikes with higher stack heights and believe that when it comes to long distance pursuits, such as gravel, that comfortable is fast. 

Being a production bike, we are able to offer the Rambler SL at a more affordable price through our partnership with Taiwan's legendary Maxway factory. It comes in five sizes and this SL (Super Light) version is paired with our Wayfinder carbon fork. 

Speaking of 650b, the X-Small size was specifically designed for 650b's which we feel is a much more appropriate wheel standard for a frame of this size and allows us to design a smaller bike with with zero handling compromises or toe overlap. It also fits a tire up to 2.4".

Designers Notes
The Rambler continues a lineage that started with the Space Horse and Space Horse disc. I believe that even if you have a different bike for every purpose, you’ll still want to have one bike that can truly do it all. The Rambler has all the relevant mounts and features, paired with contemporary gravel geometry and a comfortable high stack riding position, to take you wherever you want to go. My own Rambler is built with 650b wheels and a vintage eight speed triple drivetrain and I use it for long mixed terrain rides, touring, and quite often light singletrack in the Minnesota River Bottoms and local bootleg trails. It’s never let me down and seldom felt like the wrong choice.  - Jeff

TUBING

Wilde TLC - Tough, Light, Compliant
Our own proprietary double-butted, chromoly tube set. TLC stands for tough, light, and compliant which are the characteristics we select for. On each model and size, we select the optimum blend of tubing diameters, wall thickness, and butting profiles to yield a frame that is built to last, as light as practical, and exceedingly comfortable for the rider.
