Hi,
Just a few words by way of an introduction.
I've been a long time member of chopperbicycle.net and along with my brother in law have built loads of one-off cuctoms for their regular Bicycle Build Offs. For their latest Build Off I decided to depart from the usual 20" choppers we normally create and inspired by the great bikes on this site I thought I'd have a go at creating a Rat Rod styled Cruiser named "Sally B".
As can be seen from the design image the name and paint scheme were inspired by the WWII B-17 Flying Fortress "Sally B" (which incidentially played the role of the "Memphis Belle" in the film of the same name) and coincidentally is my wife's name and initial.
Unfortunately I was unable to get the paint done in time for the Build Off deadline so at the moment it's just bare metal, so who knows I may just let her rust!
Hope you like her.
