Today, bikes are far more complex than they were in the days of cottered cranks and downtube shifters. However, Park Tool’s mission is still the same as it was when we made our first stand: to identify the needs of the professional and amateur bike mechanic, and make high quality tools to meet those needs. We’d like to think that we’re still in business 60 years later because of our dedication to that mission, as well as the hard work of Park Tool employees past and present, and the invaluable support of our customers. Regardless of how bikes change over the next 60 years, we’re confident that we’ll be up for the challenge of providing the tools needed to repair and maintain them.
