The New Pathfinder frame looks great. How are you liking that new trans lilac colour?
I like it a lot! Usually I like my bike just black and to be honest I am not the biggest fan of any kind of pink or violet. But I saw the frame and I thought this looks so sick. Especially with the engraved artwork and the Fracture logo.
What made you choose this frame?
Before the Pathfinder Frame I rode the Network Frame, which is super short. That definitely has its advantages, but because of my injury I am riding a little bit more transition at the moment so I wanted to feel a little bit more stable on my bike and be able to ride everything.
This is the first 20.5” version of the Pathfinder, right? Is the geometry different?
Yes that's true and the geometry changed for the new Pathfinder Frames. The backend got longer and the standover height got a little higher. Except for the one in 20.5. The geometry for that one stayed the same as before.
What is one thing you do to setup bike up which you have to do on every bike? What else are you specific about?
Usually I ride my bike really short and low, 4 pegs and 4pc bars. I like when my bike looks clean, so I am not the biggest fan of too much colour. My setup right now feels pretty good but I am always open to try new parts out and see how it feels.
You run a pretty street setup with 4 pegs and a freecoaster, have you always ridden a bike this way?
I think after the first 3 months of riding I put on 4 pegs and never changed. But I have only ridden a freecoaster for a year and a half. Before that I always rode a cassette. Sometimes I miss riding a cassette, but I feel for my riding now a freecoaster is better.
