Normally we build custom cars from old Volkswagens or American cars. But we´ve got one of Germany's biggest cruisermeetings in my hometown, Steinhude, so I needed a vehicle to go there. But what can we do, I didn´t want to build a chopper, everybody rides a chopper. I can´t see choppers anymore, so 'I´ve decides to style the bike like something completely new, like a streetfighter. It must be fat, rough and strange. So we´ve cut and welded some pipes, and here we are with the new bike. . It is a single-speed singlemount bike. The hubs were from an old rickshaw from India, they have drumbrakes with nearly no performance, but you can mount them on only one side, so they were perfect. The brakes are linked together to only one lever. The bar is from a motorcycle store and its 105cm wide. The seat is only for a real hard man, which will be real hard woman after a ride. :-) . The crankset is a high-polished model from Felt and that's all the parts. At the moment we´re testing a flamethrower in the back, the two open pipes are ideal for this. A bottle with brake cleaner, a long little pipe and some parts of a lighter and you´ll get nice flames up to 1.50m.If you need more information about this bike please feel free to email me. If you need better pictures I can email them to you. It would be very nice to see my bike on your page. Regards, Alex Frank |

Hello Mr. Wilson, maybe I´ve an interesting bike for you and I hope you can understand my English. You´ve already got some bikes from me on your page(gallery 136), but here is a new one(I´ve added pictures). A full custombuilt Streetfighterbike, my friend Heinrich and I built it from some exhaust-tubes which we found in our workshop. |
