drewation said:*ive heard of lots of pros who dont ride there own stuff *
It's true. But in many of those cases, the person may have supplied
only their name or reputation, and not had a hand in the design or
quality of the items. As we know, Kris Holm is the brains behind his
products, and they're designed to be good enough for him. That means
they're good enough for anybody, except the odd Ryan Atkins here and
there. ๐
But don't be surprised to see Kris (and other designers/builders) doing
a lot of riding on prototypes and experimental stuff. New stuff is
always in the making, and it needs testing and miles on it.
In the future Kris' lines may expand to include more entry-level stuff,
making it more accessible to beginner and lower-budget riders. Not that
his current line hasn't already made high-end MUni a lot more
accessible. But if lower-end models do come out, I won't be expecting
him to ride them as long as he's still Kris.
