Ep. 217 - Odyssey Optis Inserts

Years ago I had Adam Miller the CEO of Revel Bikes on the show. We had a great conversation but at that time neither of us knew that he’d end up leaving the company. Then the company would ultimately shutdown, only to raise back out of the ashes with him at the helm again. Let’s catch up with Adam and find out what happened and how things are going now. ►Featured Links https://bit.ly/3cHjoyi ::: Revel Bikes https://bit.ly/d2rebike ::: Disconnect to Reconnect eBike Fundraiser ►Support B1KER http://patreon.b1ker.com ::: Patreon https://bit.ly/joinb1ker ::: YouTube Members http://shop.b1ker.com ::: B1KER Shop http://donate.b1ker.com ::: Donate ►Channel Supporters https://bit.ly/44Fbsaa ::: Ari Bikes https://bit.ly/3OuoP6b ::: TASCO MTB - Discount Code: B1KER https://bit.ly/2TMIAXV ::: Cushcore https://bit.ly/3vhGlAW ::: EXT Racing Suspension https://bit.ly/2S7tg8a ::: Kali Protectives - Discount Code: B1KALI30 https://bit.ly/2PUXERW ::: Project 321 https://bit.ly/3Jy098R ::: Spokex ►Disclaimer Links featured in Show More are AffiliateLinks that earn commission to help fund the channel.
