What makes a Marcel Kint unique?
- Authentic pieces are combined with today’s design.
- The geometry of the frame was designed to Marcel Kint’s body in 1938 after winning the World Championships Cycling on the Cauberg in Valkenburg.
- You can customize your own bike completely. The frame with its specific geometry is the base from which you start. You can choose all the other parts: rims, hubs, spokes, chain, crank, pedals, saddle, handlebars center, stem, brakes and even gears and accessories if wanted.
- During this process you will be guided by professionals. Everybody must have the chance to feel like a real artist. It is important everybody feels extremely proud to ride their own unique personalised bike, their own creation.
- Every customized bike is completed with a subtle “finishing touch”: Marcel Kint’s signature and the metal headbadge with authentic logo from 1954
- Do you think such a custom handmade bike is something for you, but you don’t feel the urge to design one yourself? No problem, you can also choose one of our Special Editions. Several people – each of them famous in their own domain – designed their own personalised track bike for us. Everyone with their own favourite subtle accents. Real pieces of art!
- The design you choose will be handed to BVBA M. Kint, bicycle and bike parts wholesales in Kortrijk. Marniek, Marcel’s grandson and head of the firm, will make sure your creations turn into real pieces of art. The bike is completely handmade. From frame to bike, high end craftsmanship in Kortrijk!
