The bikes that got some hard time

Beast of the East, used to be my favourite, although I really liked the shape of the killerV. The KillerV 800 I had until around April 2000. The frame snapped on one of the slope tubes behind the seat

The KillerV 500 previous orange version, the frame snapped just behind the seat (nov 1997) A Peugeot Black Rock: after 5 years of intensive use (1990/95) the chromoly frame was starting to shear.

Wooden Design...I like customised bikes
Oak, Mahogany, pine, aluminium, all pieces hand made.
The moving parts (crank, wheels, direction) were taken from scrap bicycles

Touring Category
