Every time I see a triathlon bike I look at the design wonder “what were they thinking” when they came up with this idea?

Have you ever thought that?  Today I get to interview the man who designed the triathlon bike that I’ve been riding all summer, the Quintana Roo PRSix (https://quintanarootri.com/collections/prsix) and the rest of the QR range.  His name is Brad DeVaney and he is the bike design guru at American Bicycle group, who also happen to own Litespeed titanium bikes, my particular favourite road bike of all time.

In today’s conversations Brad talks about:

The dream job for an engineer who loves cycling

Being mentored by Steve Hed and John Cobb

The thought processes behind designing an aero bike

What exactly is SHIFT technology

Why a bike designer must understand bike fit

Disc brakes and why we should all be riding them

Why one 4mm Allen key is enough

When owning a tri bike is like dating a super-model
