Roam Investment Group, based in Easton, PA, has acquired Speedsleev, the maker of minimalist saddlebags and handlebar bags.

According to Bicycle Retailer, Jarrell said the acquisition of Speedsleev would enable the company to expand its product offering, increase distribution to BTI and retailers, establish new worldwide distribution channels , and expand U.S. manufacturing.

Speedsleev was founded in 2011 by Rob Allen. Allen said, “I enjoyed pushing the edge on minimalist and redefining a category that was largely unchanged for decades. I am excited to see what Paul and his team will do to continue and evolve the product lines and the company with fresh ideas and new capital.”
