Ready for a museum: Pinakothek honours Storck Organic
The noble Enduro Organic from Storck Bicycle has been accepted into the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich. In doing so, the museum is honouring the award-winning design of the first ever carbon full-suspension bike.

The Storck Organic was presented as a prototype at the Eurobike in 1998 and was the first fully ever to be made entirely of carbon. The independent design language, the load-bearing carbon construction and the drive-neutral four-bar rear suspension kinematics set milestones. A large number of test wins and design awards followed. Today, this frame is still produced in limited numbers in Germany.

The Neue Sammlung - The International Design Museum Munich, founded around 100 years ago, is considered the oldest design museum in the world. In its "permanent collection", this state museum today houses around 80,000 objects from the fields of industrial design, applied arts and graphic design, making it the world's largest and most important design collection of the 20th and 21st centuries. In addition to the Neue Sammlung, the Pinakothek in Munich is home to three other important museums in the fields of art, graphics, architecture and design.

Sebastian Brust was born in 1979 and was originally socialised on his grandmother's folding bike, but has mainly been riding studded tyres since his fifth birthday. Loves all kinds of bikes - and merging with nature. Believes that disc brakes are much safer today than they were 15 years ago and thinks he has helped with his brake and pad tests. However, the trained vehicle technology engineer very much regrets that the bicycle industry is orientating itself on what he considers to be the wrong ideals of the car industry. At BIKE, he corrects, produces and organises digital content on the website.
