It started off as pure stock, purple and chrome. I got it from an old shop and I worked at it. My first idea was like, Well, I'm going to completely rip everything off of it.
During the Minnesota winter, I brought my bike inside of our bedroom. You know, God bless my wife for putting up with me for this. I tore every single piece off that bike down to the bare frame, sandblasted it, and chopped it in half.
I put a Throttle Addiction Hardtail on it at my buddy J Spain’s shop. We welded it up, mocked up fenders, gas tanks, had everything just ready to go. I got my frame powder coated black and then I started putting the pieces back together. At this point it was like January. So I was trying to come up with an idea and drawing out different paint schemes. I wanted to keep a balance of simplistic versus still custom and really nice.
