On a friend’s recommendation, I bought my Stan Pike on eBay in July 2011. At the time I didn’t realise how lucky I had been to win the auction. Subsequent searches on websites and internet forums brought up scant information about Stan Pike, but from what I discovered, he had a reputation as a master frame builder.
After posting a photo of my newly acquired bike on our graphic design company’s blog, I was surprised to see how many people viewed the page after Googling ‘Stan Pike cycles’. Other people were obviously keen to find out more about the man. It therefore seemed a fitting tribute to dedicate a website to Stan, with the aim of gathering as much information about him and his bicycles as possible.
A huge thanks goes to Stan’s son, Steve, whom I contacted when I had the idea for this website. He was happy for me to proceed (‘as long as any information displayed was 100% accurate’) and supplied me with information and photos that have probably not been available on the internet before. Thanks Steve!
