Hello everybody and welcome to episode 57 of the Pink Bike podcast.

I'm Mike Casmer, and this week we've got all sorts of things to talk about.

We've got Pond Beaver, our virtual trade show has been going on,

some new downhill bikes spotted, some new cross-country bikes, and more.

Last week, we talked about mountain

bikes most important inventions, and this week we're going to be talking about the trends.

This is all inspired by a set of boon cranks that popped up, these wild-looking aluminum

cranks that kind of looked like the maybe from the Jetsons or from the 1950s, and they looked wild,

and it's got us thinking about the trends that have come and gone over the years. We got James Smirthwaite.

What bike would you put those on?

I can't take full credit for this.

I saw this in a comment, but I think something like a pole or one of those like kind of 3D milled bikes.

So you've got just all the grooves everywhere.

Yeah.

How about you?

We got Brian Park here.

What would you put them on, Brian?

Oh, man.

There's, I love that they exist.

Um, a spoiler for the, for the trends later.

But, um, they, you got to put them on something ridiculous.

I, I think, I, I think I'd put them on, like a 2000s dirt jump hardtail like a balfa minute man
