Hello, my name is Henry Quinney and welcome to the Pink Bike podcast. I'm joined this week by

Dario DiGulio and Mike Kazima as well as SRMs, Chris Mandel.

Now, sometimes we do interviews, but we actually all know Chris from riding.

He lives in Bellingham, and he's up in Whistler, so we just thought, you want to just come on and talk shit with us.

And hopefully, I mean, I'm worried that you'll actually make non-speculative opinions because you maybe know the bike industry in a way that we don't.

So if you can speculate wildly, please do.

But yeah, welcome to the podcast, Chris.

Yeah, thanks for having me.

I'm not super good at speculating because I know too much and I've been on it for too long, but I can try.

So what exactly is your role at Sframm?

Just to fill people in.

Yeah, yeah.

So I take care of public relations for SRAM, Rockshawks, and all of our associated brands.

And great, super good company to work for.

They allowed me to move from Colorado to Bellingham for some family reasons. and they kept me employed, which was really amazing thing for them to do.

It was pre-COVID.

At the time, they didn't have very many remote workers.

So it was a big deal.

Yeah, so I worked for them, but really, I'm actually just a cyclist.

Yeah.

I've been a cyclist since I quit playing American football in college.

Did you play American football?
