§ 4.10: Flevo's with special material use |
In 1993, the NVHPV had a design contest.
This contest was won by this beautiful styled Flevo-copy.
It was made of round aluminium tube, single arm rear suspension and a self designed alu seat.
This bike won the Aluminium Award 1994 in the category 'bikes', as well.
