Article DEAN FS Article
I remember this article as I used to work for the O-Nine company (as a salesman) back then. Mountainbike Plus was a Dutch magazine and this was the O-Nine company owner's personal bike.
We plan a reunion with some of the guys from then later this spring so probably I can take some pics of the bike (he wrote me last week he still owns his 3 Deans from then).
That would be great, look forward to it
This is what I found recently on the DEAN instagram. You can see my brother and myself in action on our Dean bikes during the 1994 Belgian National Championship.
Brilliant, always wanted the Alluminium frame, never seen one for sale though.
It was without doubt the most beautiful bike I ever owned. The "eggplant"-like black/wine red colour was really amazing. But the frame wasn´t, it broke into 5 pieces in a descent. Every weld seam broke at the same time and all that was left were 5 aluminium tubes kept together by brake and shift cables.
The bike came in a Redline box, I believe. Is that possible? Weren´t that the guys building bmx bikes?

Race frames were a bit more fragile back then for sure.
And yes, race frames and components.
