More info on the new job / role to follow, but only later in September, My tasks will be taken over by Nina (Marketing) & Andreas (Sales), with whom I have been working very close in the last 1.5 years. I am staying in close contact with my SQlab and Boards & More Group colleagues,Īnd do want to thank the whole team, for a great time,īut especially Toby, Mitch and Max, for their understanding related to my decision to change jobs. I’m planning to join the show, help with judging, and my personal custom MTB will be on display at the SQlab booth, even if I won’t be employed by SQlab any more, then. The show is coming the first time ever to Germany, Dresden Airport, on October 13-15th, after having been hosted on annual level for over a decade in UK. SQlab is offering exhibiting frame builders free SQlab components, while giving them the chance to win an additional SQlab Build Off Award & 1.000€ in cash. My last "present": the 2nd edition of the SQlab X Bespoked collab.īESPOKED is Europe’s largest annual exhibition of custom bikes, celebrating, elevating and contributing to the sustainability of framebuilding by showcasing some of the most outstanding and exciting work in the cycling industry. I am leaving SQlab this week, due to family related reasons, changing back to a former employer with 100% home office, to be able to take more care about a family member. (no worries on the pic, thanks for tagging the source!) I also know there there are a lot of customers who will never buy D2C, they just wanna walk into a bike shop and be told what to get. There’s room in the market for all of these players, and the D2C brands are laudably doing an excellent job of getting more people on bikes. Putting my non-cyclist friends on it, tho, and they returned all smiles. I got where I was going, but it wasn’t as fun (for me). But on every ride, I was at least as focused on the shortcomings of the brakes or suspension fork or cabling/wiring as I was on the ride. I’ve ridden some of the D2C stuff and it’s fine for someone who’s not a cyclist and just wants (or needs) an affordable transportation solution. Kudos to that company for the amazing volume and growth, but virtually all of the D2C brands selling on price are making less sophisticated bikes with less expensive parts that, to a seasoned cyclist, simply will not provide the experience they’re looking for. I doubt they’re going after the Rad Power customer specifically. My hunch is Specialized will have the accessories dialed, and with a strong existing dealer base where people can touch, feel, and test ride the bikes, it’ll be very popular. Image Stolen from Bikerumors Insta (sorry, Tyler, please forgive me), Being a hub driven bike with basic but solid components, around 2.5-3k would be a winner, way above a challenge (comparable bikes from D2C competitors start at 1,5k, rad power bikes' "Radrunner" being discounted to 1.3k right now,). Most interesting will be the price points. To be fair, the Globe "Haul ST" has way better overall aesthetics, a ton of nice features & details, these promising a great modularity & shitload of accessories to follow.Īlso props to the product design team for avoiding propietary parts (like the stem/bar combo on the Turbo Como).īeing a "short tail" - the "ST" in the product name - we can expect a LT / Long Tail to follow, alla Tern Bicycles, but again in "more nice". TBH, it looks a bit like a polished Rad Power Bikes bike, but I get it, these are super popular, especially in US. Images of the first/new Globe Bike - Specialized's recently revived urban sub-brand from the late 2000s, now focusing on eBikes - are featured on The Verge & Bikerumor.
