#31: Brad Devaney of Litespeed Bicycles

Simon Ward

Every time I see a triathlon bike I look at the design wonder “what were they thinking” when they came up with this idea? Have you ever thought that?  Today I get to interview the man who designed the triathlon bike that I’ve been riding all summer, the Quintana Roo PRSix (https://quintanarootri.com/collections/prsix) and the rest of the QR range.  His name is Brad DeVaney and he is the bike design guru at American Bicycle group, who also happen to own Litespeed titanium bikes, my particular favourite road bike of all time. In today’s conversations Brad talks about: The dream job for an engineer who loves cycling Being mentored by Steve Hed and John Cobb The thought processes behind designing an aero bike What exactly is SHIFT technology Why a bike designer must understand bike fit Disc brakes and why we should all be riding them Why one 4mm Allen key is enough When owning a tri bike is like dating a super-model   Read what 220 magazine has to say about the PRSix here.  To find out more about the Quintana Roo PRSix click here.
