This could probably be in Lycra but somehow here is ppropriate. As Thomas Frischknecht predates all this.
Thanks for the 18 years of memories and amazing performances.

His retirement gift from his first MTB sponsor at Eurobike. Wonder how much use the rocking chair will actually get?
This guy was an inspiration to me when I was racing xc. He's a humble guy who just went out and performed well every time and outlasted everyone else while riding for sponsors that knew a good thing when they saw one. He is cut from the same cloth as Ned Overend and like him I suspect that while he is officially retired, he will continue on in some way in the industry (and will likely reinvent himself as Ned did with Exterra.
