DRM Kreidler





Harry de Boer was the man behind DRM - Dutch Racing Motors, widely known for his aluminum
casting abilities. The Van Veen team raced his cylinder- castings and the distinguished round,
conical shaped cylinders was used by Jamathi.
A lot of DRM Kreidler were seen in the seventies, but the only DRM about them were the afore-
mentioned cylinder- kit. When Harry de Boer in 77, with Maarten van Eijk, made two complete
race- bikes, they were ofcourse outfitted with cylinders and wheels made in- house! The DRM
bikes were driven by Frans Straver and Frits Klomp in the Dutch championship.		 Harry de Boer and the first DRM frame.
