Gaskill's Hop Shop presents: the Lo-Cal Kustom

[gaskill]

Hey everyone. Well I had my daily cruiser broke down to re-work and then i found out about the build off so i'm just going to let it roll in here. I normally don't broadcast my somewhat normal bikes, but i'm feeling it. So i didn't really get a good before picture of my bike but i did find this one at a little bike show we did. I hope it works as a before shot.

My bike is sitting directly behind the woman's cruiser ( which belongs to my doll ) I don't know the year but its a western flyer with original paint, well whats left of it.

In this picture i had taken off the orignal skiptooth crank and rims, i will be going back to that original set up.

If i can find any other older pictures of this bike i will be sure to share them. I'm just hoping this is good enough for a before shot.

I'd like to see some "conventional" Gaskill work. Kind of like Edgar Winter playing a toccata on a household Wurlitzer. :mrgreen:

I don't really see how my work is steampunk. I agree that rag and bone had that steam flavor, but that was a couple of years ago. I feel like what I do is more based on americana speed and southern engineering.

That's the way I've seen your work. "Steampunk" gets painted with a pretty broad brush these days, though.

"Get Lucky".........One of the coolest works of ART here............Nothing steam punk about it. Couldn't ride it.....Just looked cool. I hope it's on display, somewhere.
