What's your guys take on homebuilt peds? Im not talking about the crappy Chinese bike engines. I mean like custom framed rides? I know it's not nostalgic or "correct", but im just surprised I dont see more homebuilt rides.

Re: homebuilt peds?

Re: homebuilt peds?
Maize, Fitzke must still somewhat be into 2 wheelers ? I mean FB says we have mutual friends, and his FB profile pic is of him on a bike, and FB never lies bro.
Re: homebuilt peds?
Hey Tyler, you rode with us a few years ago. I still can't get teflon buttons out of my head. Have you ever used them on a 2-stroke?
Re: homebuilt peds?
Harvey, I have. I built a couple hot saw engines for a customer using teflon buttons that worked great. Also using them in my 2 stroke motocross bikes. Those bikes look fantastic! I've been away from peds for a few years now. Thinking of building my own this time around.

so much rad.
If you can do it, do it. that's my take on custom frame stuff etc.
Re: homebuilt peds?
thanks Will,
i dont always agree with my styles either, but the process keeps me out of trouble. mopeds already have that "why?" factor. sometimes i get inspired to build a bigger WHY!!!? in my mind and yours. hahaaa!
