Hello,
In the Uk we have a retro car show for VW Beetles called Bug Jam, this year while i was there i saw a load of people riding about on crazy choppers and thought i just have to have a peice of that action...Having my own race car that i have worked on over the past few years i needed a break from cars so the past few months i have set out and bulit my own chopper... im just finishing the paint work off then it will be ready for the final bulid...and grand unveiling
Being over 6foot tall i totaly have the geomertry wrong for the pedals but it still should look pretty cool...if not ride well...but i just had the most fun buliding it!! and its all about the buliding for me... i have a boaring, communter bike for everyday riding.
I must say totaly love the other bikes on here and have to give a shout out for these two web sites that gave the insit and knowledge in how do bulid a chopper.
