This Australian Made features an Australian company who were the global pioneers of custom frame protection. Founded in 2007 by Alan Vogt in Canberra, Frameskin has provided fully custom frame protection for over 15 years. If the name sounds familiar, Alan is also a key figure within the Kowalski Brothers volunteer trail building group, so he’s not afraid of a busy schedule!
AMB: What was the motivation to begin Frameskin?
Alan: ‘Frameskin started by accident. I designed a frame protection kit for my pride and joy (a carbon Ibis Mojo) and was chuffed with the results. I posted photos on an MTBR forum and immediately began receiving messages from people asking if they could buy a kit for their bike. Clearly what mattered to me in terms of protecting my bike mattered to lots of other riders out there, so Frameskin began as a pure internet business and my first customers were in North America.’
