Anybody ever see these? I want one SO bad. They come finished or rolling ready for paint. Did I mention I really really want one?

that's not a chopper. it's too shiny. lowrider, sure.

a long fork and lots of chrome does not a chopper make.

Seen one during RAGBRAI in 2001 however it had multi speeds. A guy rode the whole route on it, hills and all!

a friend of mine tried to make one of those out of some old bikes he had in his basement. it was a blast to ride but steering was difficult and i got a few weird looks.

I attended the 'chunkatalon' last weekend and had a blast. There's more to bike culture than weekend road rides!
