​ Join us as we speak to mountain bike legend Steve Peat about the last bike he raced in the Downhill World Cup. Steve Peat now manages The Santa Cruz Syndicate and owns Peaty’s Products, a household name in MTB. But he was one of the fastest riders on the downhill circuit; because of that, Steve Peat had many custom bikes made for him. Today we’re looking at the legendary ‘Spitfire’ and chatting to Steve about all the details that went into the bike.
