About GovVelo.com:

We...
- Love riding bikes & getting people on bikes. -

- Crazy passionate about what we do, which is why we got into this! -

- Love sharing that passion! -

- Give extra to the military & government community. -

We're a military family ourselves, we’ve experienced first-hand the challenges of living an active life while serving. Many bike shops aren’t willing to offer a discount, don’t know how to ship a bike APO, or are simply too busy with their local customers. And sometimes, there may not even be a quality bike shop nearby.

It seems pretty simple, but the journey has been incredible. In early 2020, yup, that year, we opened our own brick and mortar retail location to better support our own local community, so if you find yourself near Biloxi, Mississippi, drop on in!

“First and foremost, if in doubt, GovVelo.com was fantastic...with pricing, communication, bike prep, shipping and follow up. Well done!. The Marin Headlands 2 is a great gravel/adventure bike option. The fit and finish detail on the carbon lay-up and paint is excellent. The component selection gives you white collar parts for blue collar prices. *Strengths as I see them: Full carbon frame, full carbon fork, GRX rear derailleur, shifter and hydraulic brakes, internal cables and a dropper post. No toe overlap (w/CB Mallet 3 pedals) *Weaknesses as I see them: 1x only. Front fork thru axle nut not permanently secure in the fork leg, so it drops out immediately upon unloosening...keep your eye on it if fixing a flat in the backcountry, it's small and easy to lose. I'd also like the front fork legs to have three attachment points for bikepacking. I'd also like room for 700x50's in the rear...the fork has plenty of room. *For reference, I'm 6'0"/33 inseam, so I was struggling with sizing not being able to throw my leg over the bike and test ride it and being in the range for the 56 or 59...however, I went with the 56 and I'm fine with that choice. In hindsight, I don't think the 59 would fit with a dropper post, because with the 56, I only have a thumb's width of adjustability. *Overall, the Marin Headlands 2 is a worthy gravel, road, single-track bikepacking choice.”
