Oh my yes!

and I see no more Rockabilly Boogie. That makes mine more collectible, right? Must be worth about $2000 now. :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[tlaing1]

Anyone see the $750 MSRP attached to that bike?

 

[socal_jack]

They sell the rack seprate seen one `em at the LBS $100, get the new Nirve WCC bike and make one for half the money

NIrve's got a nice new plate tank bike also

 

[thatismytruck]

yep noticed the price.

My rockabilly was listed at something over $600 when I bought it two years ago. Not cheap for sure. I really love it though and it rides so nice. So it was worth it to me. In hindsight, it would be nice to have that $500 back. But hindsight , 20-20 and all that. Although, I only have 3 bikes.

Wow, that's one cool delivery bike! That second Nirve looks awesome as well.

 

[olschbp]

that second Nirve would be a good boardtrack canadate I think

The rack on the front looks good. Hopefully there was some thought put into it and how is handles under load. The Gary Fisher Simple City has a similar rack that has load limit of 22lbs.

I was thinking the same. Having the load shift from one side or the other while a low speed "wider" steering manuever was made could really throw your balance off quickly! This would not be an issue with a stationary load. :wink:

I was thinking the same thing also. When I built my custom cycle truck last year it was very tough to ride, the basket moved with the bars. I rode it one day full of empty pop bottles and it was ridiculous. If you have any kind of weight in that basket, you probably can't expect the kickstand to hold the bike up. They should have either made the basket stationary or put a drop stand on the front or rear. It is a sweet looking bike though.

I can picture myself riding that bike but I can't picture myself at the lbs paying that much!

exactly! lol the color kind of reminds me of a bmw m3 color. So who else will be building one?

 

[CCR]

copycats design ... much better

 

[thatismytruck]

So CCR, do you then weld lugs to the head tube and bolt it on?
