Can nostalgia and adrenaline go together? At the beginning, I was very skeptical about it. I admit it. I wasn’t sure that me presenting what I’m about to today, here, would be the best choice as a matter of fact. I notified my editor about it and I was quickly given another option. Sometimes, all you need is just some time and space in order to be free to look into matters. The more I was digging into the Derringer cycles website, the more I was intrigued, my mind captivated by the boldness and well executed manner of the whole idea.
So what is the whole idea? Gas Bespoke Derringer Cycles are a modern cross between the board track racing motorcycles of the 1920’s and a bicycle. Either paddled like a bike or ridden like a motorcycle. They capture the simple, pared-down aggressiveness of early Motorsport while delivering an intricate level of personalized customization. No two are alike! Much like their owners.
Being kind of a classic female, truth is I cannot imagine myself personally riding one of these beauties. But then… better “never say never” ! The fact that Derringer offers the opportunity to own a truly unique, one of a kind motorbike that combines innovative engineering with a classic high performance aesthetic, doesn’t leave me unmoved at all. Oh the possibilities! My creative side could have the chance to bring into life an object of my dreams I could ride on.
Working through the website’s design builder, selecting primary and secondary color options, pinstripe and logo colors, spoke and spoke nipple colors, rim colors, tire type and last but not least at all the handmade leather saddle (what a treat!) seems easy like a piece of cake. So, what do you say, are you all ready to design your very own nostalgic motor cycle and bring the levels of your adrenaline a little higher up by hitting the roads on it?
