The French Touch

[The Blitz]

Hi Guys

I'm TB from France, and this is some guys (Mr MAD) who said me on our forum : oke, now let's go ! U can participate to the "US Built" with your project...
So in fact, it was the first time for me...and I'm a very newbie in the custom.
But, according the RRBB#5 rules, may be it's interesting for the worldwide community to check my pics :idea:
No more blabla, just have a look to my Rat Rod Bike's pics...

First, I purchased a very "popular" cruiser in our country because distributed in the same shop like Wallmart. Many people use to have this model, because very low cost in 2nd hand.

Stay tuned for next steps...

I had some problem with those slicks during my first cruise in Paris last WE...fortunatly one Brigadier found me a "free" set of wheel replacement a few minutes before left (pics of TFT asap...)
