Recently, I was scrolling instagram and came across a post (below) by Cheech, co-owner of Crust Bikes, that really struck a cord for me. I immediately reached out to see if she’d be down to chat!
I enjoyed this chat thoroughly and think you will too. It’s very tempting to only share our successes while ignoring the dirty work it took to get there. I appreciate Cheech being honest about where she’s at and being willing to take us along for the ride. Paris Brest Paris is a huge goal, bigger than I even realized before talking to her. We talk a lot about why she chose PBP and about her journey to get there. It’s a refreshing conversation and perspective in an arena where competition often takes the forefront.
By happenstance I recently purchased a used Crust Evasion from Fixie Dave. So I took this opportunity to talk about Crust Bikes in general and some specifics about my frame. I’ve been a fan of Crust for a while and have been wanting to build up one of their frames for a while now, you can listen to my thoughts on this episode. Crust even shared my build on their page!
I’m headed out the door for a weekend of bike riding. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
