Bars for Matt

Working on these modified rabbit ear bars for Matt.  Really liking the simple look and lines.  They are internally ported for wiring....that made the fabrication process a little more complicated and time consuming. 

Cant wait to see them on his bike!

Keith's Bike...new stuff!

My good buddy Keith is always changing his mind...and as a result, his bike is always changing too....here are some of the latest additions/changes we've made to his rigid sporty chop...mostly because he HAD to have this particular rear tire....  I love this bike, and I'm greatful Keith is helping keep us in business!  Thanks man!

We changed out the rear tire to a OG Goodyear Super Eagle, but becuase the new tire was taller, we had a tire to fender clearance issue...solution...new rear fender...set him up with a "Spare Tire" fender from Craig over @ Front Street Cycles, and then made/welded up the mounts and set the fender in there...  Not it's off to Paint! 

Keith also wanted us to add this little bottle opener detail , so he can stay nice and hydrated on long rides! 

Rabbit Ears and a hefty Top Tree

Bent these bars up for Carson,  welded 1/2" threaded bungs in the bottoms... and check out the 1" thick steel top tree for his springer, made to his drawings.  He is going to take care of setting the final pull-back, weld in a center support and then have the parts painted/powdercoated.   

Overbuilt, yes.  We like that.

Not a new idea...but its my first time

Going to work a 1-7/8" mini electronic speedo into the tank of the sporty build we are doing for Geoff.   This bike is going to get a lot of road time, so im working hard to provide the normal commodities of a traveling machine,  and still keep it simple, clean and stylish

Aluminum makes me happy

Barnstorm Cycles/SPCL '79 has been a long time sponsor of the WPI Robtics Teams, handling all of their aluminum welding needs. Here is a couple shots of a frame I just TIG'd for them. These things are crazy.  Its awesome to be a part of something a little different, but still very much about fabrication and design.
