Roberto Blanko

Roberto Blanko is the name of one of the Benders’ creations in 2013. The bike was named after its client who sadly had to cancel the order due to a lack of funds … We finished her anyway and sold her too.

“Blanko” doesn’t just stand for imminent lack of money, but also stands for raw metal on the frame that can continue to oxidize under the transparent coating …

Original bike: Yamaha SR 500, built in 1981, rear end/seat/fenders/elbow: Benders Company, handle bar/lamp: LSL, turning signals: Kellermann, tires: Heidenau
