Who is the builder for the riveted headlight you posted Troy?
Kanticoy said:Some local bama boys built this....it's called the "flatcracker". It reminds me of the steampunk style.

I havent been able to do much to it last few weeks though.

arsey said:haha. as soon as I read "steampunk" and "silly looking" I was reminded of this bike I saw a while ago.
it uses an electric motor and you can tell the guy put a lot of work into it. on the other hand, it's got a propane tank hooked up for special effects. i still can't decide if that's awesome or ridiculous.
