Great you started this topic Olli! Please show us the 20's bike Wink

I'm curious to see the last one finished, allready looks good in bare metal. You are a great artist.

Not a custom, but a great stylish thirties bicycle owned by my brother. And last week my bicycle specialist gave me a fourties bicycle for free. He wanted to throw it away ... thank you!

Oh yes! I almost forgot my Rog.

This bike I made in Ljubljana, "whitout any tools", in livingroom.
Front of the frame I turned upside down, I got welding it on local
art faculty.
I used parts on it just from abandoned bikes what I found around LJ.
I count there was parts about from 10 bikes!

Everyting exept wheels of this bike are still existing. Wheels are in Etienne's Chopper.

Just mad about Funky Elephant, not a single traight line, just great styling!
Oli, it was your final design school project, am I right?

And when we won't have no more petrol to feed our snails, You will still be cruising in style!

Hi, special bikes are cool, I rather like Olli's creations. There is a custom bikeshop around the corner from my house http://www.suusbikeshop.nl/ where I've been looking trough the windows several times Cool

. I would like to build a special bike myself as well, but I think time is a problem unless I stop other projects.

Ciao, Bart

Will you paint it?

How is it to ride?

Don't you think the seat is too old style, if we compare with rest of the bike?

Yo,

too old style? I see whole bike old style - whit some new waves..

I already shortened spring of seat cause rear end of it was too up.

For now I'm planing to paint it black
