  • Fantastic podcast and a must for any mountain biker

    As someone who’s been riding MTB’s since the late 80’ I love listening to this podcast.

    The first episode about Marin bikes is brilliant, I had a Raleigh Maverick in the 80’s and used to love going to my LBS and lusting after a Marin with my first Marin being a Rocky Ridge with Manitou forks.

    Download and listen, reminisce about the bikes you’ve owned or wanted to own or just some good open discussion about mountain biking
