Today I’m joined by Neko Mulally to talk all things Frameworks. With a limited batch of 100 of the bikes going on sale tomorrow, Neko and I sat down for an in-depth chat about the project. You’ll hear how Neko has taken his experience from racing and translated that into designing and developing the Frameworks downhill bike. Hear who was involved to make this dream a reality. How much will the bikes cost, what specs will be available, how do you get hold of one and heaps of listener questions too. This is a great chance to immerse yourself in two hours of one of the most exciting projects in mountain biking right now. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Neko Mulally.
