Ep 170 with Laurent Frieden of Dirty Sundays and host of Velo Cosmos
Like so many of us, bikes became our passion at a very young age. As a kid it is your first experience of freedom. The wind in your face and your only limits were how far your body could propel you. For an older generation, it was when the street lights came on. In the 1990's mountain bikes exploded into the mainstream. Bike manufactures small and large were only held back by their imagination. For a young Laurent Freiden living in Luxembourg, it was a 1993 Mountain Bike World Cup event in Houffalize Belgium that would ignite a passion that would still be alive today. That day inspired years of mountain bike racing around the world and with a natural ability with mechanics, Laurent is still living the dream of that era today. Cycle Jerks had the pleasure of sitting down with Laurent in his new home town of Nevada City to chat about this Golden Era of mountain bikes and his passion for finding and assembling race rigs from the mid 90's. Laurent was even bidding on a race worn skin suit on Ebay while we were chatting. Cycle Jerks got to hear cool stories about Laurent swapping wheels with Joe Breeze so they could both have original period correct bike parts. Today this passion has created his event called Velo Cosmos. This fantastic event showcases bikes of all kinds from different era's. So sit back and listen to Laurents journey through an amazing era of bikes!
