Bikes: Clark-Kent Europa Ti Road; Motobecane Fantom Cyclocross

These bikes were made by Pat Clark (Owner of several Denver bike stores) and Dean Kent (Master welder). I have a prototype model of the Lemond Ti frame, labeled as a Clark-Kent Europa Ti. Very nice frame, beautiful welds, rides very well. It looks like from the pictures that my Europa Ti is the exact same frame without the Lemond stickers. As far as I know they went defunct in the mid 1990's. They did make bikes for the Coors cycling team and Alexi Grawal for a few years back in the early 1990's.

Just wanted to add info here, since Ti bikes last forever, these frames are floating around out there.
