Ep 48 – Reto Aebischer: Home-Made Carbon Bikes and Too Many Workshop Projects
Skids & Giggles Mountain Bike PodcastShow Notes
We sat down with Reto Aebischer to talk about home-made carbon bikes, learning by doing it wrong and his many workshop projects. Starting out with making kiteboards and skis, he quickly progressed to his first carbon road bike and is currently working on the second iteration of his high-pivot enduro bike. And no, unfortunately, you can't pre-order one at this point. Naturally, Reto and his friends also jumped at the opportunity to sign up for Red Bull Flugtag with a self-made "flying machines" and we get to hear the story behind their record attempt - and win! - at the event in Lausanne in 2021. Finally, to fellow Pinkbike users, Reto is known as a thoughtful commenter and forum regular as SleepingAwake and it was great to put a face and voice to a handle that many in the community have stumbled across on the web. Hope you enjoy!
