Our History in Cycling

The Mythos story begins in Greece in 1989, when our founder Dimitris Katsanis built his first custom bike frame after many years as a semi-professional cyclist. 3 years later in 1992, a Metron bike is ridden at the Barcelona Olympic Games. In 1994 the first Metron monocoque carbon fibre frame is manufactured, a design which would go on to be raced at the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games.

In 2002 Dimitris and Metron teamed up with British Cycling to develop the UKSI MK1 bikes, which would be raced at the 2004 Olympic Games, and then the UKSI MK2 bike, which would be raced at the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games. From there we continue to be involved with British Cycling and Tour Racing to the present day, working on engineering development that contributed to multiple Olympic Medals, Tour de France wins, and 3 successful World Hour Records.

Our first 3D printed parts were ridden to Hour Record success by Wiggins in 2015, and in 2016 our first metal 3D printer was installed at our headquarters. In 2022 the Mythos brand was born with the intent of bringing our experience of using 3D printing at the highest level of cycling to the consumer. Now, just 2 years on, Mythos components have been ridden to 22 World Championship medals and 7 Olympic medals.
