Welcome to Great Dane Bicycles, I'm glad you are here!

My name is Kurt Christian Andersen.   You’ve probably heard of a distant relative of mine, Hans Christian Andersen.  Among other things he was best known for his intricate paper cuttings and childrens' storys. That doesn't do a lot for me...  I'm more into making bicycles. 

When I started riding, my first “real” bike was made out of oversize aluminum.  It made sense at the time; light, big tubes, stiff.  It felt much faster than my whippy, heavy  “beginner” steel bike I’d been riding.  After I started riding with a group I noticed most of the experienced riders were riding steel frames.  I started hearing terms like SLX, TSX, Prestige, and discussions of the merits of Lugged construction vs. Fillet Brazing.  I bought a used FUSO, a Columbus SL frame, and have ridden steel ever since.  I like steel bikes...the ride, the looks.  They will last and last.

Click on "Pictures" on the left and you'll see a few of the frames I've built.  If you are interested in an Andersen frame, e me or call 303-875-5677.

Thanks for looking.

Kurt
