I'm just going though old drives image trawling and when i find something that might appeal to RB, I try and make a series out of it for us.
This was a really interesting visit. I went to five factories in five days in Germany and drove right across the country to do so. It was a bit barmy but so so interesting.
The companies were,
AX Lightness
Lightweight
Caterham
Tune
and here...Storck
Markus is a dear friend and about the most positive, bouncy, energetic bloke I know. And has an incredible car collection/ history to match his cycling one. He was I believe the German distributer for a while for Klein and Funk, and Ringle, Cooks, Grafton, all the choice stuff in the early nineties basically. And his office and garage are retro goldmines. There were patents he had taken out for designs we all take for granted now. But mainly I photographed the modern side of things for a magazine. But there was an incredible moment when he found the mountain bike magazine archive in the corner for the first time in years and his face light up, like all of ours would.
Anyway, here are a few photographs I made there that day. The day his one of seven special edition McLarens was delivered.
The full story is on my site if you fancy a read here:
