Explain the new company, who runs it, who's on the team, who helps out, why your own brand, etc?
Viki Gomez: The new company is called "Fenix", which means "Phoenix" bird in Spanish !...This bird was reborn from his own ashes (KGB company in this case) to prove that it's still alive and more powerful! I run my own brand about just frames and bars. I am the main team member and Pete Brandt and Mcircle (young rider from Madrid) are also representing.
Parts you need most often? Viki Gomez: Tires, grips, cables.
Do you have a hook up for most parts?
Viki Gomez: I am sponsored by Suelo, Flybikes ! It's so good for me and I am really proud since it was my first sponsor ten years ago and the first ones to believe in me!
Do you care about the looks of your bike?
Viki Gomez: From time to time I like to put new parts on my bike and change the combination of the colors. I chose to have a clear color because I travel a lot and the planes always scracth my bike, so now they can't cause there is no color! haha.
Does it have to roll smooth all the time?
Viki Gomez: Yes that's the most important thing! It must be compact and the brake must be perfect. Otherwise I go to a bar instead!
What tire pressure do you run?
Viki Gomez: 8,8 KG or 135 PSI! More pressure means less pain and tireness in your body!
