What about the fence post bike? That was ****ing cool, but I think it might have been posted on alt bikes.

I like johnny payphone's long chainey:

^ Could this be the only cool recumbent bike in existence? Or maybe i just havent seen enough recumbent freakbikes/choppers.

I don't like the idea of making my bike look like a motorcycle. If I wanted a motorcycle I would buy one.

I saw a guy in KC whose bike was basically a motorcycle frame with cranks and pedals added. I wish I had a picture, but it was a primer gray hunk o metal. He could cruise it pretty quickly though.

Maybe you'd prefer a scooter? An old Vespa perhaps?

aaronplane, i vote your old conversion.
i think my Iro qualified for this when it was covered in blood.

i've always been a huge fan of bikes that look like they've been beaten to ****.

That **** is funny!

death has a motor. that's a bike kill no-no.

You're kidding right? Haven't you seen the jet bike?

he has rollerblades too...but then again, when did death ever play by the rules?

when I wrap my bike in innertubes it might qualify.

i want to see more of these. there's something satisfying about a bike that could eat its rider. if it got hungry.

There was a guy at an alleycat in philly the other day who had a felt or spicer or something aero like that with a 3 spoke front completely painted flat black and flat clay red. It was pretty blasphemous and pretty mad max.

= steamroller

MORE. Jesus, more. I am loving these. Made me fall in love with my beater all over again.

This is the greatest thread ever. Please keep posting these bikes. Please.

I photographed these in New York back in July:

Kill kill kill:

Those totally remind me of William Gibson's "Bridge Trilogy" and this one character, Nigel, who keeps telling Chevette she needs heavy steel and huge-ass racks and ****.

Edit: I'm referring to those two posts up, not the Ground Up.

im kinda feeling if it has zipp wheels on it its not so mad max unless they're missing spokes.

The Rock Shox stickers are pretty choice though.

i'm thinking more bangarang rufeo than mad max

if the guy in Raising Arizona that tries to kill nicholas cage to take the baby they kidnapped rode a bike instead of a motorcycle...i think this might be it. well, maybe replace the bars with something like bones or antlers of some kind. antler drops.
