Rare Gem a Presto Amsterdam maybe special made by Peter Serier or Ja LeGrand for Jan Derksen in 1978 >> serial number 2178. Pre owner said, it was made for Derksen, but not sure. Career end was 1964, long before this frame was made. Decals are not 70ies Style. But Definitely a nice Presto Amsterdam Frame with lots of special details. Like the fork crown and the tuned campagnolo drop outs. Nice bottom bracket with XXX and rear stay bridge. Jan Derksen (23 January 1919 22 May 2011) was a Dutch professional cyclist. He was world professional track sprint champion in 1946 and 1957. He was the only rider to win a gold medal at Milan, Italy, in 1939 in the world amateur sprint before the championship was abandoned at the outbreak of the Second World War. Derksens professional career after the war was marked by his competition with another Dutch sprinter, Arie van Vliet. Derksen won 13 Dutch championships, seven of them by beating van Vliet, but he also came second to van Vliet ten times. He became world champion in 1946 by beating the Frenchman, Georges Senfftleben. He won the title again in 1957, beating van Vliet in the final. His championship ride in the quarter-final in 1955 was abandoned after he and the Italian, Antonio Maspes came to a balancing standstill for 32 minutes. The judges stopped the race.
