Self promotion here, but we’ve just dropped a new episode with Ellie Hulsebosch on her joining the Syndicate, plus plenty of other topics! She’s super determined and clearly fast as hell, can’t wait to see what the future holds Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5bTHO9PK95SOSQV6Rt3NhK?si=SmvfFKdGRHu9… Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/the-otb-podcast/id1614212374?i=10… YouTube: https://youtu.be/qmHW09wEW5U?si=Zh67ponhKK5cawwD

Just leaving this one here for you guys Edit 23.12.2024 - I do not allow Pinkbike or any other outlet to use this picture. Vital Team Rumors exclusive!

OTB podcast just dropped an interview with Lachie Stevens-Mcnabb. No juicy team rumours but that kid has a good head on his shoulders. So many references to we or the team or The Union - obviously aware of the support and role of the team to get him to where he is.

I'm not sure why anyone would be chomping at the bit so much that they HAD to be first on the order books to pay full price for a frame from a brand new company who: 1. has no reason to be instilled with consumer confidence or trust other than marketing and a solid spokesperson/owner (i.e. limited info out there on the bike, no reviews, no history of other platforms, no history of customer relations, etc); and 2. has no real bespoke or novel tech, particularly progressive geometry, or other reason to try this before everyone else other than "Look...

Glad it looks good on paper because it certainly isn't a looker otherwise.

Is this Lachie Stevens ? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBgyPunOYmD/?igsh=ZmFnZTZmOG85eHEz

Reminder that some of the users commenting and getting downvoted are in fact team managers 😂

Yeah. Their mum is Rebel Wilson and their dad was the volleyball in Castaway.

Thanks for ruing a fun joke
