Markus became a dear friend after this visit and had a treasure trove of treasure troves. He was the German distributer of a lot that we hold dear on this site, during the nineties, but he also invented a load of things from suspension to components you'd be for forgiven for not having known about. An interesting fella.

Thanks for looking .

So nice pictures
Got some cool Storck Powerarm, the first mtb carbon fiber crankset. Marcus told me that he made prototypes around 92 and began production in 93

I was surprised how many designs and patents were him. He has a lot of history under that belt. His library of magazines was great. His garage of 1990s mtb, amazing.
