Interesting insight. Great guys, top brand. Thanks for sharing. Keep up with the content!
Love it! One the best yet
Bought the R+1 lilac frame 👊🏻
Are you coming to US for Sea Otter?? Good vlog. Thanks for doing these. Good to see the hard work that goes in to the back end of the industry. What are your thoughts on the big companies struggling? Especially Giant… Is it because everyone has purchased a bike that is going to or have bikes just reached a cost level that is not sustainable??
Great to catch up with you at the show and loving the new content
