MTB history series - Origins and design evolution of the Mountain Bike Part 3

[@slowerandolder]

This is PBE in 2022. The big guy is Gary Helfrich, machinist and welder, one of 3 guys who founded Merlin and brought titanium frames to prominence in the late '80's. There's a longer Q&A with him as Part 2. The guy with more hair is Drew Guldalian. He's had a bike shop in Philly for 30 years and is Engin Cycles, a titanium component and frame builder.

This presentation is a rant about how old tech ain't good. There is some history sprinkled in. Very opinion based and less a presentation facts.
