Chris McGovern is a frame builder, business owner, coach, mechanic...he is also an ex-pro cyclist, and a really good trail runner. Gosh!
In this conversation we dive into frame building: How does someone start building bikes? Why are custom frames interesting? Could we create specific frames for bikepacking?
We also discuss the time he invented a new type of saddle bags, thought himself how to sew, made bags, and created a company out of that.
Finally, we dive into coaching and Chris shares his no-bullshit approach to coaching. He talks about the importance of being honest, and having no ego...and to not approach coaching as a business, because that may be harmful to the athletes your trying to help.
