When we first met him, he didn&#8217;t even mention his racing career. He didn&#8217;t feel he needed to, and that, we think, is what makes him different. He brings a quiet passion to his work as a fitter and coach. The past is less important than the future for him, and that&#8217;s a view we share.<\/p>\n<p>He asked us to build him a <a href=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/bikes\/evergreen-xx.php\">Evergreen SLX<\/a>, a real all-road killer, and he gave us the freedom (just a suggestion about the paint design) to build what we wanted.<\/p>\n<p>Now he&#8217;s written something nice about the bike we made him <!-- Removed dead link 220131 Kirk -->, and shared some good photos. We&#8217;re pretty proud of how this one came out. If you&#8217;re in Boulder and need a fit, a new bike, or just want to ogle this one, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.colbypearce.com\/contact\/\">get in touch with Colby<\/a>.
