Hand made, production, australian made (South east Queensland) they make or will make bobbers, cafe racers, etc.

Heh, If you can't do something original just copy everyone else and give it a new name. Good on them if they can make a go of it. Most shops like theirs last 1-2 years unless they are doing things for themselves more(ie. building frames/tanks from scratch)as there is only so much actual profit to be made from bolting together catalogue parts & charging for it and there are alot of places doing it. They are however smarter than most by making their prices more realistic so they should be able to build a decent customer base so they might just make it afterall. If they had a guy inhouse that built their frames/tanks for them they would definitely be onto a winning formula. Many new shops price themselves out of the market with the problem being if you charge $80k for an OCC style abortion you isolate yourself from the bulk of the market and people stop coming to get work done by you . Especially when ABC Choppers will frisco your tank for $200 instead of the $600 that DEF Choppers has been charging.
