An old rigid frame from the 1950s makes his screwdriver's heart beat faster: For more than twenty years, Martin Becker has been building completely individual motorcycles - so-called custom bikes - in his workshop in Heidelberg. The original frame always sets the tone, because the regulations of the German first registration apply to the new build.

Accordingly, the motorcycle builder develops a rideable one-off from decades-old remnants and brand-new individual parts within a few months: technically sophisticated, in retro design and with great attention to detail. The Heidelberg native has already won several international awards for his custom bikes.
