Hello and welcome to the Pink Bike podcast. This week I'm joined by Sarah and Mike for the

news preamble and we're releasing it on a Tuesday to line up with Mr. Minar's big team news.

If you want to skip the news and go straight to the interview itself, forward to around 12 minutes.

So, Sarah, a Greg Minar interview sounds quite exciting.

Do you think, I mean, people will be able to listen to it?

Was it was he open? Was it quite candid? what would you say the overall tone for the interview was i think he's he sounded quite candid to me like it sounded like he was kind of disappointed with the way things ended just the timing of the way things ended with santa cruz but that he is pretty excited about what's going to happen

cool concept that lots of other brands try to do, but I'd say Norco does a very good job of it

of having their bikes like

you actually go to their website and click on you know your height weight riding style and all that and

they try to give you the bike that fits you along with suspension settings and that type of thing and

i think that's continuing to evolve for the last however many years they've been doing it which is

a lot better than some companies go to their website. You can't even find the bike that you purchased theoretically. Sometimes you can't, oh, dude, it's just when there's, I don't know he always joke,
