that’s one crazy seat.

nice bike… custom seat?

Reminds me of a bike from yesteryear. Love the custom parts on an old frame. The bike speaks to the kind of form and function that blends art and desire into one voice.
Great work!

Classic! I love it!
August 17th, 2009 @5:44 pm
eh, its alright…

Did you either put a period instead of a comma and its a 128 dollar build or is it a 128,000 dollar bike?

sucks..
November 11th, 2009 @8:43 pm
Sucks?! A bike as unique as this? Even a hipster with no unique thought at all would still like this bike!
November 12th, 2009 @5:06 am
im not a hipster and i dont like it. whats wrong with you?

“Even a hipster with no unique thought at all would still like this bike!”
…still cant believe you said this ^^ who the fuck do you think you are???
November 12th, 2009 @7:30 am
I wasn’t trying to call you a hipster. I just think its amazing that anyone would not think this bike looks awesome, including the most extreme circumstance.
November 12th, 2009 @7:32 am
If you said something about how you were sad and I said ‘you sound sadder than a broke dick dog’ would you assume that I was calling you a broke dick dog?
November 12th, 2009 @9:23 am
jaja blabla , alter hauptsache du laberst mich nich weiter zu ^^
November 12th, 2009 @10:37 am
old main thing you lab only me not further too??
Honestly daniel, I wasn’t meaning to suggest you were a hipster and I apologize that it came off that way.

This bike is great. It’s refreshing and interesting to see INDIVIDUALITY. Nice work.
November 12th, 2009 @12:37 pm
that translation was awesome dude ^^
thanks for the apology! sorry for beein rude!
i know this bike is individual. my respect for that!
( is still dont like it) xD
November 12th, 2009 @1:02 pm
Ha, that translation was thanks to a widget so I still don’t know exactly what you were meaning.
No problem. I went back and read what I wrote and could understand where you were coming from.
As someone who has a very strong opinion on bikes, I can relate to your opinion even though I can’t agree.

i just cant stand people boasting about a “$128.000 Bike Build “…
if it didnt say that, maybe i would have looked at this bike some other way.
sorry for my bad enlisch btw. hope you undestand what i mean ^^
November 12th, 2009 @2:23 pm
But is he saying it cost him one hundred twenty eight thousand dollars or just one hundred twenty eight dollars? That’s what I’m wondering.
November 12th, 2009 @3:17 pm
yeah! it really cant be 128 thousand..
November 12th, 2009 @4:11 pm
yeah. i’m turned off by the dollar sign. wtf does that have to do with the bike?
November 12th, 2009 @4:13 pm
If its 128 dollars I’m amazed just by the saddle alone for that price!
November 20th, 2009 @2:22 pm
Lol… Sorry guys. There is an extra “0″ in there. The bike was build for a total of One Hundred Twenty Eight Dollars. Here is a link for the build info:

Jason, that’s a very clever & very pretty build. I’m impressed with your frugal yet very effective approach. I like it a lot. I read the build write-up and there are some ideas in there I shall definitely take on board when building my own bike. Well done!

Interesting bike but how do you stop this machine? Looks like a chain tensioner/ so can’t be true fixie? Cool front rack and the saddle will throw you if you jump a curb. I like the headlight. Is it battery job or dynamo? Attractive chainwheel. Thanks Eduard reading more than riding this winter.
February 15th, 2010 @11:45 pm
I love this bike, even if it’s pricetag is a little ostentaciously presented. The saddle, the bars, headlight, steerer tube mounted horn, that awesome rack, it’s all great. And that’s coming from a snob.
April 5th, 2010 @7:59 pm
So, how do you Stop? single speed with coaster brake it looks like > Nice squeeze horn.
April 5th, 2010 @9:33 pm
love it! i really like old things which come back to life.
gave this bike an extra-star within the rating for the build-logbook (see link above). looking at others works is fun but reading about others methods of (re)building bikes is even more fun and interesting. like the idea of using shellac for the saddle, the bags and the grips. wonderful build!

I suppose a suit and tie would be in order before riding. I guess I would want to grow a Kaiserliche boar-tusk moustache, side-burns or some dundreary whiskers perhaps? Otherwise, a fellow like me would look out of place on such a handsome ride.
April 19th, 2010 @8:46 pm
i think a skirt would be in order. i guess you would see this on one of those tweed rides? yeah cool i guess for me style wise everything started in the late 50′s @ the earliest. music fashion except art.
June 1st, 2010 @12:59 pm
I don’t know how I missed it when I first saw this bike…that horn on the fork is awesome!! Such a cool bike!
July 16th, 2010 @5:02 pm
I think this is the best bike I have ever seen apart from a 1920s pierce shaftdriven bike I saw,words cant express how i feel about it,profoundly struck me this bike has,classics are my faverate but classics with a highly personal touch,If this were my bike I would put it in my will that it would stay in the family forever,I know this is a bold statement but those of you who love classics can understand,well done jason

This is an amazing build and is even more amazing for only $128 dollars. Thanks for clearing that up Jason. I have gotten freaking parking tickets for more!
