Von Cruiser’s Ride
September 4th, 2009
Every so often a bike comes along that really catches the eye. Member Von Cruiser’s sooped up Felt V12 is one of those bikes.

4th Annual Build Off a Success!
August 31st, 2009
It’s hard to believe that this year’s build off has already come and gone. We had 166 people enter the contest this time around and 93 of them finished their bikes and were eligible for voting. Top prize went to Adam (karfer67) from Sacramento, CA with his Galt Town Hooligan. Creativity was in full gear this time around and we saw some really unique bikes built. Click here to check out all of the finished bikes.
