(October 2019) (Learn how and when to remove this message) (Learn how and when to remove this message) **Clark-Kent** was a bicycle frame manufacturer based in [Denver, Colorado](/source/Denver%2C_Colorado). The name Clark-Kent was a hybrid of the names of the company owners, Pat Clark and Dean Kent, and had no connection with the alter ego of [Superman](/source/Superman) beyond name recognition. Nor is it related in any way with [Kent Bicycles](/source/Kent_International%2C_Inc) of [Parsippany, New Jersey](/source/Parsippany%2C_New_Jersey). ## History Clark-Kent started building bicycle frames in 1989. The company built both road and mountain bike frames in steel and titanium and were the early builders of [Greg LeMond](/source/Greg_LeMond) road and mountain titanium frames, before LeMond production went to [Litespeed](/source/Litespeed) and later [Trek Bicycle Corporation](/source/Trek_Bicycle_Corporation). Clark-Kent sponsored the Coors-Light domestic professional cycling team which included well known road racer and olympic gold medalist [Alexi Grewal](/source/Alexi_Grewal), and also sponsored Colorado based elite junior cycling squad Horsetooth Racing Team in 1993, which included US Junior National Team members. The company employed master-welders Ivo Vinklarek and Don Herr, however welding on later frames was outsourced with some quality problems which contributed to the demise of the brand. Pat Clark was part owner of the famous Denver Spoke bicycle shop, and also owned a group of bicycle shops known as Premier Cycles across the greater Denver area. The company went defunct in the mid-1990s and production was halted. ## Models Clark-Kent Europa Ti Road Frame **Road**: - Europa Ti - Ti-300 - Ti-500 - AX-1 **Mountain**: - F-12 - F-14 - F-16 ## References - [Info on Clark-Kent Bicycles](http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/index.php/t-101299.html) - [Lemond Clark-Kent Titanium Bikes](http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/index.php/t-186952.html) - [Tech-News 2005, Early Clark-Kent Roubaix](http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/index.php/t-186952.html) - [BikePedia list of 1995 Clark-Kent models](http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/Bikes.aspx?Year=1995&Brand=Clark-Kent) - [Clark-Kent history page at the Museum of Mountain Bike Art & Technology](http://mombat.org/Clark-Kent.htm) v t e American bicycle manufacturers Current American Star Bike Friday Bilenky Bohemian Brooklyn Calfee Cannondale Catrike Centurion Co-Motion Columbia Cortina Cruzbike Cycle Force Dahon Diamondback Dynacraft Electra Ellsworth Handcrafted Felt Fuji Fyxation Gendron GT Haro Head Huffy Hutch BMX Ibis Independent Fabrication International Surrey Italvega Jamis K2 Sports Kent Kestrel Kona Litespeed Magna Marin Masi Milwaukee Mongoose Moots Next Niner Nishiki Novara Pacific Pope Priority Pure Quality Quintana Roo R+E Rans Razor Redline Richard Sachs Ritchey Design Rivendell Rhoades Car Roadmaster Salsa Santa Cruz Santana Schwinn SE Seven Shinola Detroit Softride Solé SOMA Specialized Surly TerraCycle Terrible One Torker Trek Turner Suspension Univega Van Dessel Villy Volagi Waterford Wilderness Trail Worksman Yamaguchi Yeti Yuba Zigo Defunct American AMF Chicago Clark-Kent E.
