I just read that Don Cook of the famous "Crusty Butt" (Crested Butte) Cook Bros. has died. I do have to hand it to him though, he died while doing what he loved... Trail riding!

Victor was a friend & client of mine. I loved his creativity and loved that he didn't give a "FLYING F" about what people though of his designs or himself!

I first met Hans when he showed up his first time in Laguna Canyon with Kevin Norton for a RADS ride (and his second day in America).

You guys have to "keep a wrinkle in it" and stuff it back in your shorts! It is just bicycle parts...Granted rare and expensive bicycle parts, but still just bicycle parts!:LOL:

That is one of the first handful of test "pressing's" of the Cook Bros. Racing F Crank. It was pressed in a 2000 ton hydraulic forging press. The first operation is to see if the shape turned out right/ correct 👍. More material than necessary is used in this phase so as not to forge a...

It takes some "elbow grease"! On anodized parts the laser etching is burning off the anodizing leaving bare aluminum logo. All the "high end" cranksets were made of 7075-T6 which has zinc in it for strength, but makes the material more likely to corrode. Laser etching Titanium just roughs...

FYI: Use a pencil eraser to clean up the laser etching on your bars and cranks! With a little "elbow grease" you will get the etching looking brand new.

If you believe half of what is written in this thread... I've got some nice beach front property in Nevada I'd love to sell you!

Antonio Colombo is a very cool guy. Back in the day (late 80's thru 90's) we talked a lot at the Interbike & Eurobike party's. He really cared about cycling and dug all the small American companies n (like mine). Very different from Valentino Campagnolo who only cared about yachting.

Craig Cook is the frame builders name and CBR frames were never fillet brazed!

Early 1990 the E's had been designed and the first prototypes tested in and around Laguna Canyon ( by RADS members) and down in Baja Norte, Mexico (out of view of the SoCal MTB craze at the time). Once the manufacturing tooling was developed (complicated), they were first brought public at the...

Yeah! Topline was the name of the company. I just remember that it was the fathers CNC "job shop" and his 2 sons strutted around like MTB rockstars (more like little A-holes). They also made Graftons second version cranks and CQP'S (Gary Cook) last attempt (and quick failure) to survive in the...

Not a Cook Bros. possibly a later Grafton or another company but I can't remember their name.

I believe the correct name is Cook Designs. It was made by Craig Cook, the younger brother of the famous Cook Bros. Racing. Craig was the technical "super star" of the 2 brothers (master TIG welder, machinist, & mechanical designer). You truly have a very rare collectable bicycle there!
