Embedding Blenki post
Kyle to Deity?
wow what a pickup for crestline. Great to see for both Blenki and Crestline.
Lars from Transition Bikes here.
Troydon (Crestline) lives about 3 minutes away from our headquarters. He's a super nice guy and joins a lot of group rides from Transition HQ. Stoked to see this, and stoked for Blenki to be partnered with someone so genuine and into bikes! Troydon is a ripper and rides a LOT. Super rad to see what he's doing, it's a massive undertaking to launch a bike company these days in such a competitive market. Also stoked to see Blenki around here, I'm sure he's bound to pay some visits.
So rad! Now what can you tell us about that new Smuggler, hmmm?
Which new Smuggler? Maybe go to the other site and track down @CarbonSmuggler420 to see what he knows? He's always sleuthing around.
Unrelated to product launches, we'll be dropping some news soon about an exciting new adventure we're embarking on. A young poutine, a younger coffee bean, and three younger salmon's...
Young poutine- Tristan Lemire?
You had me at poutine!!!
Bloody good listen, highly recommend!
Did a bit of a round up of all the 2023 rumours & moves in the latest episode of the pod & discussed a few people who haven’t been mentioned much but had strong 2022 seasons e.g. Austin Dooley, Antoine Rogge. Feedback on Brook’s section has been incredible too…

So Warner is running full Hope set up and Michelin but what’s this frame?
Last three letters are "ant" so maybe "eggplant" - all hail the egg!
More specifically, he is on a Reign Gee-an-tee - headtube badge gives it away
So full circle for Rob...
And he has just uploaded this gem
now that Paul the punter realised he cant bike theres a spot for Rob back at Giant.
(ment to be sarcasm)
The young coffee bean must be Valentina Roa Sanchez
. Might be the new Transition Factory team. Sounds like good fun for this season!
Would explain why hes been sporting a yamaha jacket in a few of his vids
Expect to see a lot of Italian tires this season.
Wasn't Rob supported by Giant for quite a while after his racing career was over, or is my memory bad?
I will have to take my imagination for a trek to figure out what you are talking about. I will watch out for scorpions though!
Yeah, before he went to Commencal iirc.
Pirelli or Vittoria?
Yes he was employed by giant for a good few years after his DH days , was team manger for giant for a small period , giant used to buy him a new 4wd truck every year , even though he did not really ride , this was years before he was on commencal though , I have known him since his teens , before he even got into MTB bikes , he originally started riding to keep fit for trials riding , he’s a top bloke , and a good laugh….
So glad I read this Pedro. Hope you chaps can keep having good laughs.
Any news on ream tumors though?
So just listening, as you do, to Making Up The Numbers podcast of Brook MacDonald, and Emilie Segenthala (totally butchered her last name there), just matter of factly said Millie Johnset is racing for Canyon this year. Doubt it would be FMD so must be with Troy at the CLLCTV. I hope she does well, and I have a feeling she may be the fastest woman on a Canyon by seasons end?
There's also the Canyon Pirelli team which she has been rumored to be on a while ago so that would make sense.
Why the need to choose?
