What The Fuck...

Find this photo on The Zen of Neato Blog...

what the fuck, right? dont they know a bike like that has a 2 person max rule... if he had a sissy bar he could strap a few kids to that. just an idea...

XS650, The Basics:

tomorrow night the customer is coming by to drop of new parts and give his feed back, in just 3 days he has a hardtail to coast around on. I’m sure he'll be happy.

his spring seat. I don’t understand why people pay $40 for these, my cost me the springs from an old beach cruiser. some sheet metal, and no more then $8 bucks in foam and fabric... not half bad for homemade!

XS650 Project:

here's the latest customer build. an xs650 this guy picked up for free... its to be a bobber with a 2 inch stretch on the hardtail. hes thinking all red and the rest is up to me. next step, tear down and cut the frame in half.

Mad Max Oil Can:

Here's a few pictures of my latest creation. it was an vintage rototiller gas can that my old landlord surprised me with. he really knows the way to my heart... I ended up getting two from him so when I get around to converting the other ill put it up.

Just a few builds ive ran into:

i like this bike, not what i try to build but it has a simplicity to it. and in the details you really find creativity.

these next two look the same, i never really liked the idea of finding a cool way to do something and
reproducing it for a quick buck... lets hope there the same bike. however, if they are one in the same, what a style, whoever built this bitch knows what there doing.

what a joke... yes, i ran into this bike and am not happy about it.
