Bike Project - 2006 & Beyond«
This page will be the beginning phases of my bike project. A Custom Bike!
Now that I've made some
progress in actually riding - my attention has turned to the impressive array of
bikes out there in the biking world. Last year I met bikers with really wild
custom bikes. I was impressed with how low the seats of the bikes were and that
started the wheels turning in my head.
That would be great!. Get your
feet on the ground. Awesome color and design. But it wasn't until I actually sat
on one and set it up - Wow - that was easy - that the wheels in my head
picked up speed. I was beginning to understand the appeal of these bikes. I'm
still not sure if it's the mechanics or the zany, cool designs or both that
attracted me. Go to a bike ride-in, bike show, or watch Orange County Choppers
and custom bikes are "the attraction." Custom bike builders are changing and
improving our world with their art - and they are art!
So, I'm thinking about custom
bikes and will this be an actual project - building a custom bike? Who can tell
what is around the bend in the road. I do know that if you never dream it's hard
to get some results! Any dreamers out there with a bike building story?
