Who are some of the people who hook you up with parts when you need them?
Sylvain ANDRE: Redline, BOX, Stealth and Tioga. I go on alltricks.com if I need anything else.Do you care about the looks of your bike?
Sylvain ANDRE: I do. I try to match the colors and keep it clean as much as I can.
Does she have to be clean at all times before you hit the track?
Sylvain ANDRE: Not all the time. But she stays in the garage if it's wet outside! And I hit the track with the Aluminium one.What tire pressure do you run?
Sylvain ANDRE: 6 front 6 rear
When it gets technical, who helps out with your bike?
Sylvain ANDRE: I can do pretty much everything by myself. I like to spend time on her. But when it come to building wheels, hands down to JM Roux. He loves them tights, too...
Any special reason for the colour combination of your bike?
Sylvain ANDRE: The frame is grey with a bit of red. I thought it'd be a real REDLINE bike with the grey/ red combo.
Does weight matter much to you?
Sylvain ANDRE: Not really. I'm glad she's light, but that's it. Won't cut the handlebar to make it lighter!Thanks to: All my sponsors who give me the opportunity to live, train and race like a pro. My club, the clubs around, and the Aix Center for letting me ride their track when I want. My parents, my friends and everyone who are behind me. And my girl Eva for being behind me, 24/7.
