This week I'm talking to Adam "Prosauce" Prosise of REEB Cycles in Lyons, Colorado. Adam machines and welds a ton of beautiful bicycles at Reeb, while riding like a maniac and still managing to run his own side hustle - Prosise Metal Works. He is a much stronger MTB rider than most framebuilders and we discuss how his riding and racing inform his fabrication and design work. We talked a lot about how a job he held for 5 years prior to REEB prepared him for success. I'm always interested in the Full Suspension bike design discussion and that was no disappointment either.
Buckle up, it's a long one!
