This is one of my favourite books of all time. Ever. Amazing photographs of bikes since people started making them up to the present day.
Derbi 50 Grand Prix- 49cc-1970-Made in Spain.
The name Derbi is an acknowledgement of the company history and is an acronym for Derivados de Bicicletas - Derivatives of Bicycles because they started out making push bikes. In the 50s they decided to manufacture bicycles with engines concentrating on a range of lighter mopeds and motorcycles.
The Derbi won races against the Suzuki and Kreidler machines with its highly tuned single cylinder, 2 stoke engine assembled with watchmakers precision.
This is a 2011 concept bike from the ever progressive Spanish company. It looks a bit techy but I imagine it would be great fun.
I'd love to super motard/ flat track this. And swap engine for Honda. And change tank.
This is the Yamaha 80cc powered Moto-Bike MK 1 that I showed at the Bicycle Film Festival art show in 2010. I'm going to use a Honda CRF50 for MK 2. Its not going to be for cross-country or going down hills and the only racing will be up Brick Lane After Dark... I want it to have front/back suspension and I'm looking forward to experimenting with formed tubing for the frame.
