am i the only biker who will admit to not knowing what end of a spanner is up but who just loves to ride? I’d like to hook up with like minded bods who appreciate a bit of shiny billet steel.

that looks sweet 
It’s very pretty but I wouldn’t want to ride it - it might get scratched and then I’d cry!
If we’re taliking customs, the Zeel Phenom must rule (shame it don’t work that well on the road :D):
But surely doesn’t appreciating a nice bike inspire you to want to learn how to wield a spanner ?
Appreciating a nice bike inspires me to want to ride it every day.
Appreciating nuts and bolts would inspire me to want to wield a spanner and I can find them on my kids bicycle stabilisers!
Take your point tho’ I guess I’m just not authentic. Just a chrome dog.
And as for the Zeel Phantom Mr Ramone, that looks even less keen on turning corners than mine!
get down to the london custom bike show next month.fantastic bikes down there to drool over…
i’ll be there. mine’s on show. come and vote for it!
Love customs! One day I will own one Where did you buy it from?
maybe some day i could afford one…
Maybe I should have thought about affording this one before I embarked on the project! a wonga sucking exercise!
A short history… fell in love with customs when visiting a bike show in Las Vegas. Saw a half built one advertised on line and just went for it. Imported from California, gave it to Battistinis in Dorset to get it SVA legal and licensed then went to work to make it special with the help of great engineers at Altamura Concepts in Camberley. They have an unbelieveable airbrush artist down there who got exactly what i wanted and delivered an amazing paint job and some great touches like the embedded rear light cluster
I recommend one of these to anyone who likes to live the dream in a straight line. Fat back wheels are none to keen on sharp turns!
i c the london custom bike show has been cancelled which is a shame as i was looking forward to going
Yep it has been cancelled which is a bummer because I was hoping to offer mine for sale in front of a large bunch of custom enthusiasts. I guess I’ll have to go back to plan B and park it outside Harrods and hope some Sheik takes a shine to it!
How much money do you want to sell it with? It’s a beautiful bike and as I see in the picture is hard tail. How dose it behave on the road?
Hi. Only just read your post. Its not a hard tail. It has a very rare (for a chop) single sided swing arm by Talon. The specs are amazing on this bike are amazing. I am looking for £35k.
It actually rides pretty well and once you have the measure of the handling even turns corners. I kept it garaged in central London for a bit and even on the city’s tight turns I have ridden no problem.

is there a right way up? seeing as the double ended anyway.
See I didnt even know that which was my original point! Anyhow some are some aren’t. Are we really debating ferkin’ spanner design?
