Stefan is the founder of the 8bar brand and team.

“I have been building bikes from scratch and racing for over 15 years.” he said.

Together with a collective of “cycle-crazy friends”, he brought his vision to life and started a company for customized bicycles. This is how the company differentiates itself from other brands: every bike can be personalized by the client by combining components and frames of different colors.

“When I started Fixed Gear racing there were only Alley Cats, Sprint races and Goldsprints. I had a bunch of friends and we were racing together at all kind of events.”.

His first RHC was the 2012 Milano one. He liked the format of the race so much that he decided to create a fixed gear racing team. “After a few years we also created the 8bar Rookies Team to support unattached riders so they can compete in races like this.”
