S10 Ep26: Service Course | Bikes from Nam
In this episode of Service Course, Tom speaks to Dan Craven, better known as Dan from Nam. Dan's career began in 2009 with the Rapha Condor team and he finished up in 2017 after a spell with Israel Cycling Academy, but that's probably less than ten per cent of the story.
He memorably represented Namibia at the 2016 Olympics in Rio where he managed to live tweet his ride in the individual time trial. As a Namibian Dan has been at the forefront of the development of cycling in Africa and for his latest project he's packing his bags, leaving Girona and returning to Namibia where he will be building bikes.
Dan's bike brand, Onguza, is not the typical bike brand you might expect from an ex-pro. He's not putting his name on a carbon frame built in a factory thousands of miles away, he's getting his blow torch out and producing handmade, steel-framed bikes. There are also words from Ian Boswell who pays tribute to our friend Richard Moore.
