Well I finally got my pics & project together & here is the build & my inspiration for 2012 --
The story behind this build is I like a certain look to my bicycles - it's all the small things that make the bike to me - I like clean - simple - functional & the extra non- functional things is not for me - with that being said - here is my latest machine -
I went to my buddies bicycle shop in Costa Mesa California - It's located in a unique outdoor mall called " The Lab " & is stressed as being an Anti Mall - He runs his shop out of a 30 foot Airstream Trailer which is located in the back parking lot at " The Lab " - His shop is called MODE BIKES - you can find him online @ http://www.modebikes.com - Well he has a different take on bikes - he focuses on modern frames with super fat tires which are all one of customs - I on the other hand focus on collecting & riding vintage American made bicycles - Well I was at his shop after reading about the build off here on Rat Rod Bikes & it hit me - There was a set of Felt aluminum hoops up on the wall that were powder coated copper & I had my inspiration for this build - so I went home that night with a idea & a dream build for this build off --
