Worst interview I ever conducted was with Tomac at Sea Otter. I was “hired” by a fledgling action sports website and given no real direction on story ideas, etc. By contrast, Tom Ritchey was downright loquacious. If memory serves, I received $200 to cover expenses, but none of my articles saw the light of day.

He seems to have disappeared more than most. Was he a tricky interview? It would be great to go back and do a series of “The legends of the past” . Like, Ned, Tinker etc. Get their views on stuff.

His replies to my questions were terse at best. He seemed like he didn’t want to be bothered (and I can’t really blame him).

The head tube angle stays constant across the size range at 69.5 degrees, barely crossing over the 70º line that many brands seem to stick with.

Alright so these are pretty awesome but seem a waste on a pedal that’s just going to get worn off and covered in dirt sooner rather than later.

The have so many other products and the pattern/color is really doing it for me.
