Aloha from England....

[MR TIKI]

real name; Bryan.
I've been building and riding bikes longer than I care to remember,my Grandfather was an engineer and started teaching me how to fix bikes before I was old enough for school.I came across this site looking for something else entirely and having had a look around I decided to join. I've built/owned several bikes which reflect my interest in 'old school' style and the Hot rod scene and I'm currently working on a 'Board track style' bike based around an Electra frame.

a previous build for my Son,from this....

to this....

and my current project,started out as an Electra 'hawaii'.it had been dismantled in the back of my garden shed for quite a while and lots of the parts had been used on other projects.with what I had left and some found components I built this..

I based it loosely on the Klunker bikes from the early days of mountain bikes,having seen the other bikes on this site I've been inspired to change tack....

I'm tempted to put an engine in it too but,the laws being what they are in Blitey it would be sure to bring Her Majesty's finest running.

keep up the good work Guys and Gals,this site is Awesome!!

I like your bikes but the one you built for your son kicks butt looks like a miniature Boney Finger.

cheers,I've been using these orange and white colours for years on everything from cars to longboards but,the layout of the design on the Tiki-cycle was based on a Boney finger.

cheers,the Lil' Tiki-cycle it was built back in 2008/9 to match my car and as a show bike for my Son.it's held up well considering the use it has had with my daughter now riding it too. the Klunker/board tracker is a work in progress.

Cheers, that was 'Big Ed' I made him for a Tiki night at a VW show a few years ago.
He was about 8 feet tall and made from a refrigerator box!
