Does anyone know anything about Hanebrink bikes?

Hi Chaps,

Does anyone have good knowledge here?

Models, years, prices? Were they any good?

Cheers

Mark

Don't know much but I know that I like them. I recall he was a builder always willing to try something different to see if it improved upon existing designs.

Didn't he make inverted front suspension forks???

That's what I thought, however I have seen a complete bike for sale and wondered if its the real deal? The forks are not inverted on this one, I can only describe them as similar to Cannondale Headshock

He made stuff for loads of companies, proto bikes, a lot of stuff for iditabike double rim frame and forks for the snow, some cool stuff for moots.

A mate in the US has one of his frames that he made for Scott for the iditiabike, ubercool.

I had forgotten about those

and I thought the surly pugsley had thick tires:

Hanebrink definitely made some cool looking MTBs/forks

They built an upside down fork in the end of the 90ies…
But I remember the aluminum bike with a front suspension like and headshock wworking with air. The bike had two 24" wheels, and the horizontal/sloping tubing was going rear the seat tube, until the rear triangle…
But sorry, no pictures
