Hey Buddy! With Ben Farver - Argonaut cycles

Ben Farver builds some of the best custom bikes on the planet—period. But this week, he was just another guy in Girona trying to survive La Traka weekend, eat well, ride a little, and get a lay of the land now that The Service Course is gone.

Ben and I go way back. We talk about:

• His roots in Portland and the wild ride that led to Argonaut Cycles

• How Girona became a second home for him and the brand

• The current state of the bike industry (spoiler: it’s weird)

• Finding community through craft, not clicks

• And yeah… that time I maybe knocked over a very expensive bike outside a café

We also get into Girona life—what’s changing, what’s sacred, and what it’s like to be an expat figuring it all out in a town full of fast wheels and strong coffee.

🎧 It’s a good one. Messy, honest, funny, and full of stuff you won’t hear anywhere else.
