A bike review in a BroomWagon-style. I have been reviewing the Ritchey Montebello for a while, but nothing could really match a tech talk when you have one of the ideator and first really tester of the bike itself on the other side.

In this episode I talk with Fergus Tanaka, Marketing Manager at Ritchey's and the person who brought the Montebello very first prototype from the Flemish cobbles to the Paris-Brest-Paris.

And yes, the episode photo is from the one and only Ryan Le Garrec.
