It was all about building a bike that was my style and unlike anything else. Most of all to be able to show it and hop on it and ride 200 miles
I wanted to build a crazy frame to challenge myself.
I am most proud of the frame with the twists. The down tube is 4 pieces of 3/4″ solid bar that was twisted in a lathe.
Being able to say that i built the frame and springer front.
They always want to know how it rides and how the roundstock was twisted. Alot of people like the paint ,which i did not do
