The Bicycle Custom Culture

bikerodnkustom.homestead.com has been at the forefront of custom chopper and dragster bicycle information for near a decade.  Here's a few interesting bikes shown on their site.



no comment on their weight, but they're made from Spruce and they are ridden













CRUD (Chopper Riding Urbad Dwellers) have been around a similar amount of time and are an interesting look into the lo-tech custom bike culture.  A few of their bikes are below:





Kustom Kuhl is a linited run bike manufacturer from Melbourne.  The companies creater is well known in the Aircooled Volkswagen scene for his other business' extremely high quality restorations and customisations.  These skills have been transferred into the creation of some very unique bikes: http://www.gkustomkuhl.com/deuce.htm
