Hello, My name is Eric, I live in France, south of Paris. I love bike and kustom culture. Every day I use my bicycle. I think it's the best symbol of freedom of travel; and it's better if you can expand your mind with your bike. I used to have more than one bicycle: one for kustom, one for travel and going to work, and one mountain bike. Here are my own and my daughter's kustom bikes. For my bike I used an aluminium city bike frame- 26" size, the saddle was found on eBay, I made the fuel tank myself from aluminium sheet. It contains the batteries for the front light. The second frame, for my daughter, was found in the trash, it's an old mountain bike- 24" size, the handlebars came from an old BMX. After some repairs, I painted the frame with satin black mixed with red metallic. The saddle and the sissy bar came from The Chopperdome Paris, one of the only shops to carry kustom parts in France. Unfortunately, import parts from America are very expensive with shipping and taxes. Thank you for all you do to promote kustom bicycles around the world with your webzine. Eric |
