Re: Firebird TransAM' cruiser

Glad to see you are back to work on the Screaming Chicken (common reference to the hood emblem).
While I didn't get to see this beast when we were in Kiev, I did get to meet up with Ruslan for a beer and talk bikes. It was a fun time.
This young guy has some cool bike building skills! I told him he needed to post pics of his earlier builds.
Here we are at the Black Piglet.

Closer and closer.
Cool engineering too.
Did you ever point out that the curve of the second tube mimics the curve of the TransAm door windows?
 
Re: Firebird TransAM' cruiser

BRAVO!!!!!!
Even better than I pictured it would turn out.
Very clean and professional work going on there!!!!
Watch out for the smokies!

Great job, from the first sketch to the final product!

Thank's a lot! :)
This bike has a quite simple design, but I'm Loving simple forms and the technical aspect)))
One piece cranks - is rarely enough for my country, but I've decided to use it, due to the US-bike tradition!
