DK Bicycles: DK Bicycles has a long history in bicycle motocross that led directly to the company’s bikes, components, and accessories. DK was conceived in Daytona, Ohio, in 1979 when Bill Danishek was saving to buy a moped. He happened to see a flyer for a new BMX track opening and fell for BMX instead. While building his first bike he ran out of money, so he asked his father, Charlie, who happened to be a machinist at GM, to make him a stem. After some trial and error and various redesigns, the item became highly demanded among local moto-crossers thanks to racing successes and word of mouth. As popularity of the custom stems hand-made by Bill’s dad grew, so did volume of production, and from work done after hours at the GM plant production had to be moved to the family garage; where it became a genuine family affair, with parents and siblings doing the drilling, polishing, and assembling. That was where the legendary DK stem was born, although it only acquired the DK name after the “Jag,” a huge race in Indianapolis. Earlier production was for a local bike shop and the items were simply called K&G stems. |
