For episode 18 of Crosshairs Radio we welcome Richard Sachs to the show. Richard is best known as a bicycle frame builder who has built a reputation as one of the most meticulous, detail-oriented and skilled frame builders working today.

Richard is also immersed in cyclocross both as a racer and team owner. Our conversation concentrates more on the racer and team owner than the frame builder. We have a great talk about how he first discovered bikes, how he entered the cycling business and how he ended up running a team.

Along with Richard, Dan Chabanov joins us once again. This time as a co-host. The three of us have a good-natured chat in Dan’s hotel room during a rainy Saturday night before the final day of racing at the 2016 U.S. Cyclocross National Championships in Asheville, N.C.
