No pegs, no brakes, your bike has a clean set up. How cool is that to travel with it like this?
I can get it in the flight bag in about 3 minutes, it makes life so easy. Also, I only ever need about 4 tools.

What's this 50/50 frame all about?

I wanted my own frame but thought it was a bad idea to start a bike company so I suggested the frame to Eddie at 5050 and he liked the idea. We worked with S&M who made a limited run of 25 frames for us. So stoked on the frame and being able to make a shop frame with 5050.

Who are some of the people who hook you up with parts when you need them?

Jim Bauer at Odyssey hooks me up, Mat Hoffman helps me with Hoffman parts and 5050 help me out pretty good, they always build my wheels for me.

Do you care about the looks of your bike? Yes, for sure. I like it to look clean and simple. Are you picky on how it rolls?
Oh yes. I'm super picky. I take really good care of it so that I never have to worry about anything except my riding.

What tire pressure do you run?
At least 120, sometimes more.

What are the modifications you made to your bike?
Just the custom frame. Everything else is stock.
