As promised from my workshop thread, my bikes. Well, my interesting ones anyway.. First, RideLow Impala, Metalic black and chrome beast. kinda standard fare lowrider bike. Nice to cruise on, and good fun. Got more looks in Bristol than Portsmouth but then bikes like this are a bit more common here anyway.    Now. The frankencycle. What can I say? It was built from scrap and cost the grand total of nothing. Its about a million foot lang and you can't really steer. awesome. Impossible to ride but looks crazy.    Whats think? Rich |

possibly the ugliest ever bike. I love it! I know. Its so hideous its beautiful.. Just kept building it til I ran out of ugly stuff to throw on it. I like the lowrider. Where can one purchase a similar bike? .. I use them for bits for the bikes and also they sell a neat line of little tat-lights in 6V that take automotive bulbs so you can run them on 12V.. Nifty stuff. Rich |

i like the head angle on the frankencycle. the handling should pick up at about 100mph.

You jammy weasel! That's fantastic. I bid on a couple of black standard Bombers on eBay, but they all ended up out of reach. Worth having even for the bars and stem, I'd say!

My friend used to have a bomber just like that. I think he scrapped it as he buckled the back wheel trying to 180 it. I remember smashing my knee off the stem, bad times but a fun bike. nice find.
