ra.ta studios

Qvo familia it’s been a while, first post since may. My apologies I’ve been pretty busy this summer with 3 jobs and just life I guess summers in Mtl are pretty rad! I haven’t being building bikes in a minute but that’s ok. There is quite a few builds I’ve never actually taken the time to post and show you how amazing they are, starting with my owns bikes! I don’t know why I waited this long, I’m sorry ! 😣

Anyways enough already,

Here is one of my favorite bikes i currently own, it’s an All City (RIP) Super Professional. I bought this bike last summer in Toronto from Cameron at and I’ve been slowly changing his setup to make it my own.

These photos are from early summer where I had already changed a few things. News bars, seatpost, saddle, wheels (700c to 650b) and tires.

Since then I’ve changed the crankset and the rear derailleur and the bar tape and it’s pretty much at it’s final state. The only thing maybe I’d want to change would be the chainring for a bigger one and maybe fenders but I’m still not sure about the fenders.

Photos of the updated set up coming soon I promise!

Isabelle’s build of the croute bike.

1 by 9 speeds friction, 11-36 cassette, front basket and vélo orange bits here and there.

Only the good stuff.

Guillaume’s GT Tequesta 1992 in full commuter mode.

The wait is finally over, Guillaume’s GT Tequesta 1992 is done and was delivered today.

This was a fun project to put together as it’s an attempt to illustrate what neo-retro means to me. I tried to follow the aesthetic from GT’s catalog while also making sure the bike would serve Guillaume’s commute needs.

Full build details soon. 👀

Merci encore pour ta confiance Guillaume, Cheers!

Howdy, I’m back from a pretty decent brake from this account. During the winter months sometimes I need to disconnect a bit from the bike world which consumes my brain 96.8% of the rest of the time. But now, with the cycling season coming at a fast pace I can’t help it but to think about bikes and futur adventures 24/7 😅

Anyway, here is a photo of the last final version of my 1992 GT Tequesta before I decided to pass it on to the sweet Guillaume from Le Club Espresso in Montreal. The bike is still in the studio undergoing some serious surgery, from frame modifications to customs paint job and Paul components… this build will be a WILD one.

Stay tuned for build updates 👀

Throwback to these bianchi twins 👯‍♀️

Here is the complete build of my brother’s 1980s Raleigh Big Horn.

It is kind of a parts bin build with a pair of fully rebuilt Araya rims laced to shimano exage 7s hubs and a micro shift thumb shifter in friction mode.

I love a simple 1 by mullet set up for its simplicity for commuting and it’s minimal look reminding me of the fixie days.

This little guy doesn’t really like to bike but mom is been telling me he’s been biking to work every shift. 🤓 🫶🏼

I’ve been pretty busy with work and school but here is a wip build from back in June for my younger brother Diego.

Very sick 1980s Raleigh Big Horn built with a mix of parts from the bin and some fb market place finds.

Full build photos coming soon.

My girlfriend Isabelle suggested I collaborate with photographers to get different takes of how people see bikes and photograph them. Here’s a little preview of her series.
