Last night I presented the detailing kit at Café Ventoux, a local cycling café.
As of now, every single brand new Boardman bike from the experience centre at Café Ventoux will have No Quarter paint protection applied before handover, something I'm very excited about!
As I turned up a few hours before the public, it was fantastic to sit down with Chris and have a chat all things cycling related.
He was telling me about his favourite bike being his first ever track bike and how his father found it in a skip, he also told me that he tried to search for the bike and could only find the last two owners!
Speaking with Chris about what was going through his head during the hour record and his relationship with other riders was fantastic. A name that popped up was Graeme Obree, someone Chris has a great amount of respect for.
I told him about how this forum has been a huge influence for me personally and we chatted about classic track bikes, what he used to ride and the kit he always wanted as a kid etc.
He also signed one of the detailing kits, something that will be given away on social media next week!
