Ken Evans - Victoria Australia
Ken Evans has spent most of his life with bicycles as a racing cyclist and a framebuilder. Ken started building frames in 1976. He learnt the art of frame building by an old master of the art (George Mcdonald) and from there put his own style to his frames. Many Professional and Amateur cyclists have relied on kenevans frames and bikes over the years, winning National and World Championships. The tight geometry and finish make the frames stand out. Today the same as in the past the production is still hand made to the same strict standards, with only the best quality material and workmanship used.

Robert Dill-Bundi - Switzerland
He competed for Switzerland in the 1980 Summer Olympics held in Moscow, Soviet Union in the individual pursuit event where he won Gold.
In 1999 he was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor and in 2007 doctors gave him 2 month to live, but he is still alive, because according to him he is using a electrical box, always carrying it around with him, and it is connected to diodes on his head, where it sends a current of 2 ampere through his head.
