BIKE TECH INFO

[slimjoe]

Im looking for information on this German based company, who made nice light frames and parts in the 90's

I have found out that the frames were Japanese made (TOYO) but im looking for Pictures and build specs etc.

Please can you help?

Bike-Tech is covered in Gallery 2 Manufacturer section. There you find catalogues with information on the frames and specs. Very cool was the frame with the two side paintschame, like FAT had too.

Bike-Tech was the brand of Markus Storck of Germany. Storck was importer of various high end US Cult brands too. Bike-Tech were tastfull simple very well made frames. Many built with Tange Prestige tubesets. Bike-Tech was discontinued around mid 90s I think. Aluminum and suspension era had take off, Markus lost his distribution of Klein and he wanted to try something new: Storck. In fact initially heavily Klein inspired aluminium (and carbon) FS and HT bikes.

Production of the Bike-Tech frame was outsourced to the little run productiuon shop Toyo in Japan. Toyo built for Ritchey and Rocky too and still build for Rivendell and they have their own brand for the Japanese market: Testach >> http://www.tsss.co.jp/catalog/vol15/testach.pdf

You got the Bike-Tech from eBay.co.uk ?

I had a toyo Ti bar i got from haggis then sold it on to another member.
I found it too flexy for my tastes.
Maybe they made other Ti parts,stems or even a Ti frame

Yes buddy, i did

It needs a full resto though..Paintwork is shot in places..Ive found an old advert in a 93 MBA for the bike ive got..Found out what colurs etc they came in.

Really well constructed frame and the whole bike weighs very little
