Mrazek

Bohumil Mrazek is a Czech metal worker who used to make sabres. The story goes that he visited the United States in 1993 and swept up in the mountainbike movement. He then turns his talents to making one of the most graceful bikes you can buy. That's the story anyway. [edit] i was and still am a huge fan of this bike. recently i discovered that the son has taken over the operation and you can still buy a new mrazek. just please ask them to stop putting headshoks in them.


Boh - There's some pretty cool stuff on this bike - Marzocchi forks, Panaracer Fires, and maybe even carbon cranks.


Boh - Mrazek's probably make pretty good race bikes, so it shouldn't be a surprise to see a SID on one, but it wouldn't be my choice.


Boh - Some advice for the newbies out there; do not buy a used bike that looks like this - low seat, wide, high bars, flat pedals. All sure signs of trials useage - a hard life for any bike.



Boh - No company is immune from the spell of the singlespeed. This is a gorgeous bike, it looks really fast.
