Dame

I have been following Primos for a long time and always wanted to get a Dame after reading all the reviews from everyone. I could not get it because they did not ship them to Canada, but what a great surprise one of the days I checked their site and now they were able to do it. I received it after a few days waiting for it and had a couple of small issues that was able to sort out with the immediate assitance of the Primos family. I took it for the first ride the following day and WOW!!!! My expectations were quite high but the reality was even better. I could not stop smiling during the 40km trail ride. The sensations are incredible: fun, quick, every pedal transfer over, stability, comfortable... Again, I could not stop smiling. Do not hesitate a second a support this amazing venture of Carlos and Pascual. Muchas gracias!!!!

I stumbled across Primos after dreaming of a gravel bike for a few months. My friend invited me to a spontaneous bikepacking trip and I needed a bike. The Dame seemed perfect coming from a Specialized Allez.

I reached out to Primos on a Sunday evening and had a response in less than an hour. I needed the bike quickly and Primos stepped up and went out of their way to help make it happen. The Dame arrived on time and everything went together beautifully. I had a LBS run through the bike and put on Bontrager rack on and it looks and works great!

My friend and I successfully completed our 150 mile journey through Iowa on mostly paved paths, however we did get to try out a few miles of gravel and singletrack. I'd say the Dame preformed above expectations on all surfaces, with the tires providing wonderful traction and the steel frame doing its job perfectly,

I took everything off after getting home from bikepacking and rode around. I was very surprised at how neutral the bike feels both loaded and empty. There is a bit more nimbleness without the extra weight, but I honestly couldn't tell much of a difference while riding. Pushing the bike around loaded and unloaded was a different story, but that's just user error with my bag setup being rear heavy.

When it comes to looks the Dame seemed to catch a lot of eyes during our trip. With many riders breaking necks to try and see who makes such a cool looking bike, The welds are perfect and the paint is very high quality. My wife loves the colors and wants one after seeing mine lol.

Overall I think Primos has something special here with the Dame. I said it many times over the 150 miles how good the bike feels. It rides flats well, corners well, climbs well and descends well. It can do it with gear or without. I think Carlos and Pascual accomplished what they set out to do and that's make a bike that can "do it all".

I upgraded to the Dame and I love it. I did a lot of research and watch a lot of youtube vidoes and the Dame came out on top. I rode it for the first time last weekend and did 25 miles. It handled like a charm.

First off I always wanted a steel frame gravel rig. This bike checks all the boxes. It’s a good compromise of quality parts. I rode the Dame on its maiden voyage in a gravel event and this bike was great. On the road once up to speed it just rolls! In the gravel it tracked well. I’m so glad I made this purchase. One more rig to add to my stable.

Everything has been great so far.Would definitely recommend.
