Team Works

We love this recent CN article about Richie Sachs’ CX team bikes, specifically Dan Timmerman’s:

We particularly like the Sachs quote at the end. What some may call Richard’s stubbornness, we feel is just common sense:

“We are at the races to prove a point. That point is to be ambassadors for all of those I just mentioned. (Y)our obligation is to know everything about every company on the kits as well as about every part we use until the season ends. We are at the venues to represent, and represent well. We (the team – you – us – the folks who raced here before 2009) give good brand.”

Suffice it to say that there’s not enough of this kind of loyalty in the bike biz.
