Oh yeah. Small frame builders also do a lot of shadow work for other companies. That's where another company pays you to make one-offs. Examples; One year the TDF had a number of Ventana frames. Pro riders are very finicky about fit and geometry. Sometimes a stock frame won't fit. A couple...

Ground clearance! Who needs ground clearance? I'm lovin these❤️

Made a few changes. Sitting in the back room waiting on them. I decided to go with a Panther chainguard. I have one in perfect condition. It only lacks chrome.😁

Perfect, very custom. Just custom enough to keep me outta the lowrider class. Those guys are on another planet!

Second time in. Got second so I repainted and chrome some parts. Second place trophy in 2019 way bigger then the first place in 2023.

You mean "emergency room" brake?😎

Anyone going, entering? Last year was pitiful with only 8 or 9 bikes. The lowriders both car and bike protested last year. That sucked! They're were thoroughly missed. Luckily the Suede Pavillion was still good. We (the bikes) usually have our room. Last year they stuck us in a walkway.

I believe the "Moron/Big Butts" logo is from the twisted mind of Scot Nicol.
