Bikes / M / Mark 1

from a recent email:

We ran a factory team here in Tempe AZ. (Photo attached) In the 70's we dominated at the local tracks because the rides we had were far more progressive than most. Mark 1 was one of the first cromoly  alloy frames on the market. I was young but remember being the test rider for everything they produced. Mark 1 was one of the first to use the small BB to use lighter cranks, also one of the first to ride in AZ with aluminum rims and hubs. I will attach what was dubbed the Mark 1 mini as well as the last photo of me on a test bike that never went to market called the Mark 1 Bandito only one our two were made right before the demise of the co.
