BIKES: Craigslist Customs

When I run across interesting bikes on Craigslist I try to make a point of saving the pics, which I will publish here with absolutely no permission whatsoever, except that the original owners put them out on the interwebz, and I say that is open season. Also, by "interesting" I may mean kick ass, or not so-much-so.

Carbon Fiber may look cool on some bikes

this is not one of those bikes

Gotta love the black and blue no logo style.

Note the custom black rims too

This bike is super clean, and takes advantage of the weight savings by ditching the plastics and bash plate.

I'm pretty sure you could save that much weight by taking a poop before riding. He also has incorporated the oft needed after market kick stand.

This owner tried to make his bike look super pimp with some color variation, but inadvertently provided us with a nice photoshop template to try out new colors on our bikes!

This shot looks a little more honest

This is the only appropriate color scheme for a red frame. Don't know why we don't see more of these floating around. Super beast mode! Also that sprocket doesn't exactly look like a Talon made situation... hmmmmmmm

Mardi Gras themed ATK. Would you like to earn some beads?

Super clean street tracker.

Looks like the owner plopped an 18 on front and done. Digging that custom seat, looks plush.

Flat track style: check - low mounted Supertrapp, custom tank topper to match the seat, all he needs is the last bikes wheel set and he should be golden.

MURDERED OUT! This guy's ad said that he had just murdered the whole bike out using Plastidip... I'm willing to bet that has not stayed on the Rotax. Just be glad he left the discs alone.

Red, White, and Blue

Yet still looks a tad alien, no?

Like a girl with some overenthusiastic rhinoplasty.
