SwissVan Posted August 19, 2008 Share Last year at the 94.7 I saw a guy and girl riding together on bicycles that looked like Harley Davidsons (Laid back chopper with a really fat tyre at the back)...Anyone know who makes them and sells them in SA?

Dirtbreath Posted August 19, 2008 Share What is that? Like a piece of outdated engineering that makes a hell of a racket, costs a fortune and everyone wants one. Myself included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclenut Posted August 19, 2008 Share I took one on a test ride at Cajees Pineslopes. Very cool. Must add one to the collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greatwhite Posted August 19, 2008 Share I saw a couple too - stopped (or slowed down at least) and had a chat with them about the bikes they did tell me where they got them too, but it appears I am getting old and my memory is fading :-( I seem to recall they were an american brand - schwinn or the like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilipV Posted August 19, 2008 Share The stress on that headset must be something horrid. Looks perfect for a cruise. I want one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johan Bornman Posted August 19, 2008 Share Stop fartarsing around. If you want a chopper, get one with at least 140 spokes per wheel. This is not about weight, aerodynamics or carbon. Keywords are excess, shine, outrageous. By the way, take one for a ride before you buy. They're nice to build and look at but not for riding.http://www.bicycledesigner.com/images/26_gold_wheels.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
