Rouleur Conversations podcast: Kristen Faulkner and How to Build a Bike

Rouleur conversations

Hailing from Alaska, holding Harvard rowing records and with an on-hold career in venture capital, Kristen Faulkner can now add top-notch cyclist to her glittering CV. The Team TIBCO-SVB racer took to the Spring Classics like a Belgian to cobbles, with 7th at Gent-Wevelgem and 10th in the Tour of Flanders. We catch up with the new American on the block.

Ever considered building your own bike, rather than buying off the peg? Podcast host Ian Parkinson does it all the time, Rouleur Digital Editor Peter Stuart needs a bit of persuading, while Alan Anderson has just released a book on the subject. How to Build a Bike - In a Weekend makes the case for choosing wisely and saving money, plus the satisfying feeling of making and maintaining a unique and personal machine.
