Builder Spotlight: Anthony Sundell

We wanted to shine a light on the talented folks behind the bikes, so we sent our builders a few questions to help us (and you) get to know them a little better. Below you'll find their unfiltered answers and a few photos that give you a glimpse into who they are—on and off the bike.
