OK, I just wanted people to stop and do a double-take and and wonder why this idiot is riding his cycle on the sidewalk. Well, thanks for listening and feel free to give me some feedback so my next bike might look even better! |
Mike Bradley: BRADS Chopper |
Hello, my name is Mike Bradley and my friends call me BRADS. This was my first attempt at welding, so you might see a few rough spots on the frame...but what the heck, it's my first bike! I live in Minnesota and as some of you know, the winters can be a little rough. I put this bike together from January 2004 to April 2004 from parts from junk yards and landfills. I used conduit pipes for most of the framing because it's good strength and ease to weld to. I used one Tuff II wheel on the back and an ACS 'Z' mag on the front (I like the 5 spoke look!). I used a gas tank off of a Suzuki motorcycle as well as the headlight. The rear fender, believe it or not, was from a Webber BBQ grill (wasnt easy to weld back together...ceramic or something). The seat is the only thing new I bought from Schwinn for around $30, it just looked too darn cool not to! Lastly I used some gauges and mirrors off of various bikes & motorcycles to give it an authentic look. |
