Travis from the familiar PAUL COMPONENT. Before working at PAUL, he ran a bike shop in San Francisco called Fresh Air Bicycles, and even before that, he worked at a legendary bike shop called FreeWheels; in fact, I've had a long relationship with him going back to those days.

Beyond his contributions to PAUL COMPONENT, I believe he is an indispensable figure in the handmade builder community, not just in NorCal, but beyond.
