Postby larren » Sun Jul 31, 2011 7:51 pm
Started out as a Big W Repco Cruiser. Heaps done to it including custom springer front end, hand made copper tank, clear coated bare metal frame...........too much to list.
Here's the link to the build if you're keen to have a better look. Entries close tomorrow and voting starts in a week or so. hewey, another member on here has entered as well.

Nice work!
2nd Womble, pull your head in. You're even more trouble than the first one. Shouldn't you be digging holes in tennis courts somewhere in England about now?

Thanks Mulger billlarren wrote:Thanks for all the positive comments . The bike is currently sitting in 5th place in the voting, which is beyond any expectations I had for the build-off.

I especially like the saddle being right down at the tyre's level and the leather saddle.
The headlight is a nice touch too.
