THIS IS AN UPDATED POST & PICS...
I renamed my bike to the "Area 51 chopper" due to its stealthy looks. This was my first ever build and I tied for first place in the Chopper - tank category at the '07 Build A Bike show in Glendale, AZ.
I started with this $145.00 Republic of China unit off the Internet that I thought had pretty decent frame lines:
Then turned it into this:
Here's a pic with one of our brand new Phreak Bike Militia shirts.
It is 8 feet 4 inches long!
The finish is textured black "Zolatone." This product is similar to spray-in truck bed liner only it dries harder and can be easily touched up. This bike is meant to be ridden, so a few scratches are bound to happen.
Other mods include:
- Back half frame job
- Metal, blended bodywork panels
- Custom 4130 cromoly sissy bar
- Dropped oversize seat & gel pad
- Zero offset billet aluminum BMX stem
- Ape hangar bars with LED light inserts
- Head light & tail light
- Flared rear fender
- Chain tensioner/skateboard wheel
- Axle mount kickstand
- Custom brackets
- Black dice valve caps
- '07 Tour de Fat bell ringer
- Stainless nuts n bolts
It is a blast to ride and I get many thumbs up.
