	Built as part of a competition between my mates before Vanfest in the summer. Built in 5 hours from a kids bike and on a tight budget of £7 (for the horn) came up with this, modeled by my mate.. Gave it a lick of paint after vanfest to finish it off

	Like that a lot. I'm going to get better at welding and build a propper chopper with an almost completely custom frame.

Got to admit My buddy welded it for me I, I designed it and cut the metal up. The bike stood up well to the long weekend at Vanfest, I have taken it to a Harley Davidson meet too without any problem. Yeah the rear end does not look braced enough but trust me that frame is tough. I am going to fit a rear brake to it and get a dynamo for the lights to finish it off.
