Ep. 151 ~ Jesse Turner with Slow Southern Steel Bikes

This week we are talking with Jesse Turner who is the custom bike maker and artist behind Slow Southern Steel based out of Fayetteville, AR.

Jesse started this new company less than a year ago and I’ve been following with interest since the beginning. I love to showcase and support people who are following their passion and doing things to make the cycling world a better place. I’d certainly include Jesse in this category. His first job was in a bike shop as a mechanic, he would go on to get an Art degree, and then become a welder. If you mix all that with a person who is passionate about bikes and an Arkansas native you get Slow Southern Steel.

On this episode we dive into what it’s like to start a custom bike company, along with some of the challenges, and successes that have helped to inform what SSS Bikes is today.

But enough talk, you came here for pictures….
