Gustav Thuesen cycling alongside a lake

ON THE DROPS INTERVIEW: Gustav Thuesen

Gustav 1

We first came across Gustav after watching a self made film of him riding 2000km over Scandinavia. As a lover of all things adventurous, Gustav spends a lot of his time exploring on and off the bike. His social media (Instagram) is filled of his expeditions on and off the bike and are beautifully shot. 

Between adventures we managed to catch Gustav for the dreaded On The Drops Interview and find out more about what keeps this crazy Dane going!

Soma 1

San Fransisco based, Soma Fabrications, get it right. The Wolverine crossed our paths when at Eurobike this year. It was certainly an eye catcher with those bars! Set up with SuperDura Dynamo Disc wheels, we finally managed to get our hands on a few professionally shot photos from the kind people over at Traffic Distribution (Soma's German distributor).

READER'S RIDE | Hank's Canyon Inflite

Some bikes are straight-up head-turners. Ones that catch the eye for being a little more left-of-centre seemingly send the cycling word into a frenzy. When the Canyon Inflite was released, it was instantly a hot topic here at Hunt. Some liked it, some didn't and now some have grown to like it. But one thing is for certain - it's different!

THE CASSETTE #4: STRAIGHT JACK

There is no secret that our customer service lead Jack's music taste extends beyond others. A fan of punk and hardcore where tracks are short, fast and loud, you won't find too much faff here!

ON THE DROPS INTERVIEW: JAMES 'HANK' LOWSLEY WILLIAMS 

Hank 1

Hank is more widely known for his efforts on the road. As a member of the Hunt supported BIKEChannel Canyon team, Hank spends the warmer months of the year racing UCI continental events around Europe and Britain. Now the off-season has fallen upon the peloton, so too has 'cross fever.

Morvelo have been keeping it real with some of the best quality threads in the game. Starting out as a few tee-shirts had for a bunch of close friends, the Sussex-based cycling clothing team has gone from strength to strength. Providing kit to suit all tastes, riding styles and conditions, the fiercely independent mob is one we are glad to call our friends!

Marron Monster

The man of many bikes has once again casually slipped this number into the Reader's Ride segment. Brand Manager for Road & CX, Ollie Gray, has recently turned his beloved Cannondale CAAD7 into "winter-smashing mode". 

The Bombtrack Audax Bike

READER'S RIDE: Bombtrack's Audax

Bombtrack 1

Bombtrack bikes are cool. There we said it. Not one to follow the pack and come out with bikes which are high on the fun factor. This new build from Bombtrack might be exactly what you need to compliment long days spent exploring anything which comes your way.

Hamish showing everyone his handstand skills

ON THE DROPS INTERVIEW: Hamish Paine

 

Hamo

We haven’t seen much of Hamish over the past two years… mostly due to him being located down under in Wollongong, Australia.

Having worked in a bicycle store since he was 14 after lying about his age to get a start on the wrenches, Hamish now handles media enquiries with us at Hunt, pieces together our weekly Hunt Journal and is the creator of our On The Drops Interviews.

This time round we have called upon OpenDev rider Rob Harwood to show us some tracks which keep him going on a long gravel ride.

READER'S RIDE: Max's Canyon Training Bike

When you make a living out of riding fast, you need a fast bike! However, there is always a bike which does all of the work behind the scenes. Sometimes this machine is slightly less glamorous than the race day steed, but it will almost always share the same angles to make sure everything feels familiar come race day.

Jack 2

This week's On The Drops features none other than BIKE Channel Canyon's Jack Pullar. We caught up with him on all things climbing, and were thrilled to discover his prettiest bike was the same as Ollie's...
