Another custom bike thread (but so cool)

just imagine the back and arse pain, the bike has no suspension!!!!!!!

its rigid rear true, but the fork is a girder fork: the top link acts on a spring and damper inside the steering head. It may also have a sprung or cantilevered seat.

like i said, the more you look, the more there is to see. the wheels are 21 inch front and 20 inch rear.

He is inspired by early 20th century board track racers. apparently common in those days to plate off a cylinder to make a twin into a single. Goldammer decided to do that, but then mounted the supercharger on the plate.

I like it,it follows the lines of many bikes from early part of the last century as it was mean't to i guess...... the main difference being it is welded tube instead of tube bronzed into castings..so it gets the smooth look... it looks a bit like a HD Peashooter that has been squashed down to me.A lot of the new stuff is based on the old but with the added bonus of todays advances in engineering and materials.I would like to do something with a TL engine but the angle of the cylinders makes it hard to set up cosmetic wise.

I like that better. The matt black is a nice finish too. Kinda similar to excile (sp) cycles.
