    you might ask yourself why? find out in part 3: hard time. i picked up a hard time long version for 200€ on sale. the plan was clear from the start, the old chopper was fine. but it was a bit short and i've had it with short cranks, so evo 1: evo 2: evo 3, mooncaps made a comeback...

    it turned into this: complete with laserwelded framemods except the supportstruts in the back. it was a fun project/ride and i had big plans for it, but things took a different direction. so i finished the frameset, painted it and well, sold it.
