okay okay



Always a great motor choice, the hinckley bonneville is an ideal basis for a neat traditional chop.

Note that classy chops are ALWAYS in style - they never 'went out' or 'came in'.

Twin motor, spokes, rigid and low bars...hmmm good

Not yer average despatcher's ride



You wouldn't catch this bike couriering bits of papers between City ad agencies, that's for sure. I saw this on ebay going for a lot more than you'd normally pay for a cx, but then again it's a whole lot nicer.

Just shows what you can do on a tight budget. Can't buy soul.

AWoL swede rat

When I was a lad, there was a bike mag called AWoL, as in alternative way of life. It was pretty cool, actually it was bloody brilliant, and somehow managed to combine anarchist-squatter politics with outlaw MC coverage; most of all, though, it was about down-to-earth bikers and their rides.

This superdream 250 was built by Mark, one of the editorial team, and is a cracking bike. I wonder where it is now?

Mag-wise, thank God we still have 100% Biker. I don't bother with the rest.

Red Max

Red Max Speed shop are fast building a rep for turning out top-notch cafes, trackers and other neat stuff. Hard to believe this ace sporty was a pretty ordinary late-model ride til they worked some cafe magic on it. Doing a convincing job on that stock HD frame is not easy, but they've pulled it off a treat.
