Would you ever say that one of the best garages where you can get your old bike customized into a unique café racer motorcycle is in Spain?Then check out Café Racer Dreams a small company based in Madrid managed by Pedro Garcia,a graphic designer with the passion for metal sculptures.
Pedro Garcia Founder of CRD explains:
The automotive world always attracted me so cars, and motorcycles in particular have been my great passion. Two years ago in 2010, after having gone through several jobs related to engines and the arts (in sculpture), I wanted to get a bike made from a single vintage motorcycle, so I tried several workshops in Spain, but at that time there was no-one out there who could give me what I wanted. It all started by accident. I started contacting people, I had many ideas clear in my mind and the rest was just putting together the pieces of the puzzle. I created my bike with the help of top professionals. I then wanted to do another concept bike, but my friend (initially my client) Miguel Olivares suggested that I try to make this dream my way of life.
CRD was born at a time that no one was betting on the concept of custom bikes. Now in Spain it seems that there are is a new “Dream Garage” born every day in every city. That’s good. It seems that people want to differentiate themselves, and custom builders can now give the public what I once did not have.
Our team is made up of the best professionals in each area, and are all based in our garage with Orlando Taborda and me.
I am happy, very happy, with the progress of each project. To see the result and to be happy with it is a blessing, and if the end customer is also 110% satisfied then the circle is closed, re-motivating me to build another, and another.”
