While the look isn't exactly 'me' i do think it's worth some discussion, well as much as the next bike anyway. I'm starting to worry that the daily influx of custom is getting too much and most bikes seem to barely register at the moment, let alone provoke a discussion.

Have we peaked with the motorbike of the day type thing ?

I'm sure we've had this one before!

I dont dislike it but why not paint the tank British Rail blue as well? That faux wear is a naff cliche
Oh and handlebars attached to headlamp brackets ?!?!?!

I like it, except for the flat blue colour.

And the bars are attached to the upper and lower yokes aren't they? With the headlamp bracket coming off them.

Certainly not as an article, but it's possible we've had pics of some i find as i don't check all threads.

That rear shock isn't going to work

It's time for this sort of shyte to stop.

Someone does do a kit for a horizontal shock but there are levers at the ends

just whacking it onto the frame and the old pivot wont translate into much shock travel

It won't help that the shock is upside down

Your turn then find us better.

Of all the Bimmer caff racers (and there are many, many cool ones) that has to be one of the worst.

And the first time he hits a puddle, the alternator will get a soaking.

That's just a hipster bike that's as useful as a man bun.

I meant making these bikes.

I remember specials used to have some merit but this, like many is neither a good bike, nor does it look good. It's a pointless fashion-led bandwagon lash-up.

[The Spin Doctor]

I look at bikes like this, I think the original was no kind of looker, and I wonder "how did you make it worse?"
