Here's a Chopper bike that I have in the works...


I custom built a double wide rear wheel with one tire covering them... (Yes, I did it all myself!) ;)


Below is a double bar top tube.

Hey Norm,

That frame was a score and the paint in person is un-real in the sun. The front end is perfect for that bike. Needs a big 4 stroke, it’s got the room.

Hey if you built that sooner with a built in tank you and Jen could have rode that to Vegas this weekend, that area for a tank is huge. LOL

I admire your visions…keep up the good work….Bro

With two tubes it's almost a run-flat tire!

One question, are the rims actually connected or are the spokes holding them together?

That frame is just Sick. Is it production or custom or what? It looks like a cross between a Warrior and a Royal. Where can I get one?

Both!! The spokes are cross laced to pull the rims together, & the rims are welded together!! ;)

It's a custom frame, I don't know who made it? It was sitting in the back of my friends shop covered in rust for a long time; then it sat in my garage for a long time until I finally got it powder coated. (It was nick-named 'Tow Mater'!!!) laff


Here's more pics... Now I can ride it!
& if anyone cares... I used the left over parts from a Felt - El Guapo Lowrider.

Actually, I tack welded the wheels first, then laced them. It was impossible to true them!!! Then I figured out that the wheels weren't perfectly straight with each other... :rolleyes:
Then I cut the welds with the wheels still laced & when the last weld was cut, the wheels 'popped' into alignment & were almost perfectly true!!! (Then it was just a little fine tuning.) (^)

My hat is off to you! That is one sick bike! I have never seen a double rim wheel like that and I can appreciate all the work you put into creating it. The frame is....WOW!

San Diego CA,
Who ever bought it sure is lucky!!! Very cool!!! But he can't tell eveyone who stops to ask questions about it, "Yea I built That!" But he can say its a one off custom from Venice! Great work Norm.
