#Ep.43 Klein vs Cannondale. The birth of the aluminium Track Bike.
Shownotes
Hello track artists!
One more history episode for you guys! This time we tackled about the conflict that happened between Klein and Cannondale in the 80s’. Fighting over a patent for oversized aluminum tubing, there is actually a lot of backstories to tell to properly understand that trial. Coming back to the origins of the aluminum track bike, we worked our way up to the birth of the Cannondale track and why it could have never existed in the first place. A crazy story you’re gonna get hooked to, for sure!
