Dresda Autos
Dave Degens is Dresda Autos, and Dresda Autos is Dave Degens. Dave is more than well known in the British bike scene for his Tritons - Triumph engines in Norton frames. But Dave also makes his own frames, inspired by the legendary Norton Featherbed chassis.
Japauto asked Dresda to do the frames for their endurance racers. And Japauto used them and won the Bol d'Or.
