"Copp Out" Chopper

[WillisFL]

Here's my Nirve Tension/Deviate. I found it a couple yrs ago and picked it up for $40, it was in pretty bad shape but it cleaned up somewhat well and I rode it around like that for a while. Over the last few months I started getting "the itch." Seeing it had been about 5 yrs since I tooled around or built something up I gave it a go. I've never built a "chopper" style of bike but I think it turned out well. Only thing that's different is the pedals pictured are no longer on the bike, I'm using a pair of white krate style pedals now. Let me know what you guys think or if you have any questions.

They were taken at Smather's Beach in Key West, FL about 2 weeks ago

You can't really see the details of the powdercoat in these pics. It's called Copper Vein and then there is a clear that's called Amber Illusion over it. Basically it has a slight copper and green metallic flake, it changes between the different flake depending on which way the light is hitting it. It's very subtle though, I didn't want it looking like a total flake/color changing job and hiding the texture of the Copper Vein base coat.

That is as nice a chopper as I have seen and the photography is absolutely outstanding. Did you photograph it ?

Thank you, I would love to say I photographed it...but alas I did not. A good friend of mine in Key West did. Nick Doll of Nick Doll photography. Basically anyone that wants anything from weddings, to restaurants wanting pics of their cuisine, to cars and everything in between he's the guy to call in The FL Keys. It also helps that he's crazy about bikes. He even has a pretty awesome trike with a trailer for his camera gear when he goes to gigs on the island.
