hey all
i have made a few posts already but i thought id do an intro on me and my crew...the DiceBandits and our kustom shop Kingpin Kustoms
well im Brett (kingpin).
Im the one who kinda got into all of this first...i have always been into cool cars and stuff. i was around when this whole new kustom bicycle thing reared its head on the net and was a member of the infamous choppercabras.
i started my own kustom/chopper bike web site called dicebandits a few years ago and was featured in hrb&k...i gave it up when i couldnt afford to keep it going in the direction i wanted it to.
i own a small clothing company called LOTUS and u can check it out here..http://www.myspace.com/lotusgear
now as u may know we are way down in new zealand and as far as mainstream things go we are up to if not above most world standards. however when it comes to cool kustom stuff we are way behind.
when i started dicebandits i had to look in every bike shop in my city (new zealands capital city no less!) for a set of ape hangers and in the end found one pair of nos bars from the 70s!!!
we now have one importer of lowrider stuff but not one of the bike shops in this city stock or will even order u parts!
i could go on for ages about how hard it is here but in some ways i like it! i was always into skateboarding because it was "underground" and ksutom bike building and riding is very very very underground here! lol
my stock chrome beach cruiser below gets huge looks...people stare like its a spaceship!!!
any way
thanks for reading this so far...im gonna post some pix now...
