“Nobody was making the bikes I wanted, so I took it upon myself to make my dream bikes. The industry has been homogenized where everything looks like a rendition of everything else. What would you design if you didn’t need to sell it? Or money wasn’t an option? Let’s do what’s right and support the metrics after.” - Cam Zink
