French and English podcast. Professional bike racer Maghalie Rochette describes her passion for her sport as a "fever". For her, being passionate is more than just loving something, it's an all-encompassing feeling, and most importantly, it's contagious. Fever Talk is a show about passion, where Maghalie discusses with passionate people who have made a career out of their crafts and their passion. With these casual conversations, dive directly into the universe of artists, business founders, world class athletes, and creators who share their stories with us.
On this episode, we have a great discussion with the man behind the bikes I am riding this year. Welcome the frame builder and founder of SEEKER: Chris McGovern.
In this discussion with Chris, we talk about how our partnership came together. How Chris started building frames, and how he builds custom frames in carbon AND in titanium. We discuss about what makes a cyclocross geometry unique, and what he has in mind for the future of Seeker, and much more.
We hope you enjoy this very passionate conversation as much as I enjoy riding the bikes!
