I just saw downstairs here at the NV Roundup. [00:01:45] It's totally beautiful. But before we get into that, why don't you just tell us a little bit about your background and what led to the formation of the company and a little bit about the company? [00:01:55] Nicolas: [00:01:55] Of course. So, as carb cycles has started back in the day, six years ago our founder Santiago Toto, who started the company with a local frame builder, it used to have another name before. [00:02:05]And then in migrated toward nowadays is described cycles in as the name, it started in 2018 with the name script cycles, but we've been building bikes since 2000 16, more or less. And tell us [00:02:17] Craig Dalton: [00:02:17] about where the company [00:02:18] Nicolas: [00:02:18] is located. So our company slug is based in in the outskirts of managing it's Antioquia it's a more or less 30 minutes from aging, which is the second biggest city in Colombia . [00:02:29] Craig Dalton: [00:02:29] And does Columbia have a large bike building scene? [00:02:33]Nicolas: [00:02:33] Not a bike building scene, but it's home of the world known as kind of house, which is basically the we explored world-class cyclist. So we've been there's not a strong bike building scene. There's couple of our one or two or three frame builders in the country. [00:02:48] But mostly what we have in our country is Cyclists. There's a strong love for the sport. The bicycle itself, it's a very strong object or thing for the Colombian culture. So it's not only a way of transportation. It's a, it's not only a sport. It's just a way of life, a way of being, and it's an element, the bicycle that connects us all as Colombians, you can go to a road and meet you can be with us. [00:03:12] With farm guy, a company CNO, which he's just training in his Sunday ride and you can actually be writing with a pro. So these two guys are going to have the same own time, and they're just like shredding their ass off a very high speed. Or you just can have on weekdays, a kid going from his very small town moving to a, another small town to go to school. [00:03:32] So basically the bicycle is a very strong element in the Columbia. [00:03:37] Craig Dalton: [00:03:37] That's awesome to hear football and soccer, obviously big sports as well. How would you rank cycling? I mean, obviously like with NARIC and Tanya going back five, six years and all the emerging Colombian superstars today, was that sort of the generation where cycling really took hold in the culture or did it, does it date back further than that?
