The lastest project underway at supacustom is a custom bicycle for my girlfriend Renee, this isn’t the first bicycle frame that I have built but it will be the first to carry the “supacustom” brand. It seems lots of readers are curious to know more about what goes into building a bicycle frame, so I’ll try and step through some of the details here on the blog. First step is …continue…
People who know me well are aware that I have a soft spot for bicycles as well as motorcycles, up until this point supacustom has been 100% moto but recently that has changed a little. Almost 6 years ago I built a bicycle frame, and to be honset that is where the addiction to customising bikes really began, I got a huge kick out of riding around on something that I had …continue…
Its been a while since I have posted an update on the Ossa project, thats because I haven’t had much of a chance to work on it for the past few months. There has been quite a bit going on at supacustom headquarters recently and as a result the little Ossa project has been a bit neglected. The past few days I have been working to rectify this situation. I added some …continue…
It seems everyone in the custom bike world is coming out with a short film, some are good and some suck – this is one of the good ones, not just good, its brilliant! It follows the stories of 3 builders from Portland, Oregon (which is an awesome city that I was lucky enough to visit earlier this year…). The film is a great look at some interesting guys doing …continue…
Great behind the scenes video from the KTM factory. If you have an interest in the technology that goes into these bikes then you will love this video.
In my opinion all custom bikes should be built to be ridden, “show only” bikes really don’t count as far as I am concerned. I have posted images of the Bott XR-1 before and it sure did look like a custom that was made to perform, the latest images from Bottpower confirm that theory. Not only have they released a video of the bike being thrown around track there is also a series …continue…
This sport is crazy, looks way more scary that normal speedway! This video from RedBull is great, even has subtitles in english.
Check out this series of behind the scenes images from the assembly line for KTM’s new Moto3 production racer. I love seeing this side of any motorcycle, must be the engineer in me! images via Deristricted
Wolf Creative Customs specialise in building some pretty amazing motorised bicycles, I featured a race machine from these guys last year, it was a hugely popular post, I guess I am not the only one who thinks these bikes are cool. Check out the latest build from Wolf, less of a race bike and more of a cruiser, very cool! Images via the always excellent Silodrome, check out the Wolf Creative Customs Facebook page for more …continue…
The Hammar 449 is a new creation from Hammaerhead Industries, what a bike! Details are still a bit scarce, I am sure we will see a full release from Hammaerhead Industries soon but for now these couple of pictures tell a great story – custom frame, Honda CRF450X motor, motard wheels, scrambler styling, and lots of brushed aluminium. I can only imagine how much fun this thing would be blasting …continue…
