Edgelord

"An edgelord is someone on an internet forum who deliberately talks about controversial, offensive, taboo, or nihilistic subjects in order to shock other users in an effort to appear cool, or edgy." With that in mind, I will start out with an AV Customs RAPTOR frame, and a matching square tube...

Your build is definitely 'edgy', literally and figuratively! With your latest photo shoot, this could also be known as; Moody Blues.

Sweet build, Dave! And, I'd love to get to Shiny Side Up one of these years. Or even drag one of my rat rods over to Huntington Beach and ride. RaT oN~!

I haven't ridden with Troy and the Rat Rod Riders in HB for a couple of years. I need to make the trip before the weather goes all wet/windy for winter.

Killer build brother. This is one of the cooler and more unusual builds this year. I love the way it turned out. Completly changed the geometry on how this frame is usually been built up.
CONGRATS!!
