The Slow Spin Society Podcast Ep.15 - Squid Bikes with Chris Namba

Ep_15_cover.jpg

Hey Slow Spinners,

As you may know by now, every month we invite one guest to the show. This month’s guest is Squid Bikes rider, co-founder, and US National Team Mechanic Chris Namba! With him, we go through the rise of Squid Bikes from being a small track/cyclocross bike company fulfilling his and his crew’s needs to a global force to be reckoned with. Their particularly creative and unique paint jobs created using Spray Bike spray cans have caught everyone’s attention over the last few years, but their journey doesn’t end with track bikes and tracklocross! We discuss this, Squid Bikes’ future trajectory, its CX team, and more. 

Here are some relevant links for the episode:

Let’s finish the show notes with a nice Squid Bikes quote:

Paint your own bike, maintain your own trails, grow your community, and pass it on.

So don’t get dusty and see you next Monday 🏜
