Figured I'd check in here. Am a poor boy, so no full member for me (my ViP at CF was sponsored by a friend). Relatively new to building. Was riding from 1990-95, then dropped it, and bought a junker in 2010 to ride, and was given another with no title on the condition I "do something cool with it". I'd never customized a bike before, but I did a lot of welded sculpture in the 00's, and figured I could transfer the skills.
I got sucked in pretty hard and spent 6 years building a custom suspension system (and a lot of other shit to fit around the changes that implied, and get the ergo I wanted). When I finally got done with it, [url=http://www.customfighters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=135105]I won FoTM over at C.
I should probably dump bike pictures and discussion in the proper forum, but with an intro like that it's rude not to include a couple pictures, right? I call it the SECApocalyopse. Feel free to hate it, it's got something to piss of fans of any style. I call it a street fighter because that's what most inspired me. That and, obviously, Mad Max, so its nice to know there's a fighter community in Australia.
