Mrazek began with a dream. Bohumil (translated " God is Smiling ") Mrazek dreamt of an original bicycle frame design in the late 1980s. What makes Boh truly special, though, is his ability to make his visions real.
Not being one to follow the system, Boh had actually struck out on his own with a private metal working shop before the 1989 official end of the communist regime in what is now the Czech Republic. Soon thereafter the first BOH FX hit the singletrack. In 1993 Boh ventured to Portland, Oregon in the U.S. to see what might be possible, considering his numerous talents. It was his one-of-a-kind bicycle design that attracted the greatest attention and led Boh to establish a manufacturing facility back in Vrbno, Czech with his father, Bohumil, at the helm.
In 1994 Boh also began working with his main partner in the U.S., Jeff Burnard. Jeff had just finished a two year racing contract with Cannondale and jumped at the opportunity to be involved with such a unique project from the onset. This is essentially the Mrazek of today.
Bohumil Mrazek Sr. is still based in Vrbno and has a hand in every single frame around. Boh Jr. returned to Vrbno from Portland in the fall of 2006 and is focused on design. Jeff is now back in Portland after 3+ years in Japan and he continues to focus on R & D, marketing, and customer service, having ace wrench and more, Eric Vickers, at his side along with John & Annette DeMers, the ARC Powdercoating Wizards.
