The bikes were originally built at BSC Bikes in Melbourne. They were then stripped and re-modeled by the awesome David at Cheeky Transport in Sydney (with riding position input from Blair at The Body Mechanic). They were both also powder coated at A1 Powder Coating in Sydney.

With Blair after our final bike fitting.




Excellent head lights – and bike mojo!



Thanks to Javier Martinez for these awesome photos from Songkran Festival in Thailand…
