We sat down with Terrance Malone to talk about vintage mountain bikes, Terra One and how he came to design a new tire for your old ride. With over 20 years of experience in the industry, Terrance knows a thing or two about the business of bikes, product design and developing custom tires. In his free time, he is also actively involved in the vintage mountain bike community here in Switzerland, not only as a collector himself, but also through Fascination Ferraroli, a blog dedicated to the fabled Swiss brand. Naturally, our conversation touches on a lot of Terrance’s experiences in the mountain bike world, from his professional journey, the eureka moment for Terra One, tire designs, sustainability and transparency, family, stash spots, his collection, but also his own riding here in Switzerland, both on vintage as well as on more modern mountain bikes. Terrance also had a little surprise in store for us by turning the tables and closing out the show with questions inspired by the Uncommon Deeds podcast.
