In this episode, I sat down with a long time supporter of the podcast Francis Staude. In 2017 Francis was not happy with the MTB clothing on the market and decided to begin his own brand and product. From this FRANKD was born and we chat about everything to do with the brand  from concepts, samples and ambassadors.    Thanks to our sponsors:    Trek- Trek have been making bike s since 1976 and since then they have been pushing what can be done with a bike. There is a reason that some of the best like brandon semenuk, Reece Wilson, Valli Hoel, Harriet Burbridge, Mike Ross and caroline buchanan ride them, they bloody rip. I am stoked to have them on board this year as we begin to grow at a huge rate.   Shred Bike wash- https://www.shredbike.com.au/ Shred are Australia’s newest bike wash brand!!
