A COUPLE OF BOBBER JOBBERS THAT HAVE BEEN CLOGGING UP MY MIND OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS . . . . MAYBE A FRISCO CHOP ISN'T QUITE AS DEFINITE AS I HAD THOUGHT . . . . PERHAPS I'M MORE OF AN OLD STICK IN THE MUD TRADITIONALIST THAN I THOUGHT . . . . CONFUSION.

ONE'S A PAN, ONE'S A SHOVEL, ONE RIGID AND ONE SWINGARM, BOTH DONE ALONG A REASONABLY SIMILAR AESTHETIC STYLE, AND WHILE I DON'T HAPPEN TO BE IN POSSESSION OF A PANHEAD, I COULD QUITE EASILY SEE THE SHOVEL NESTLED IN THE SOON TO BE RIGID ONLY IN THIS PRETTY DEFINITIVE SPEED BOBBER TURNOUT . . . . SHIT, I DUNNO, JUST MESSING ABOUT WITH IDEAS BEFORE I GET TO THE POINT WHERE I ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO COMMIT TO A DECISION, PROJECT SHOVELLER WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE BASED ON THE CLASSIC FRISCO LOOK, BUT I COULD SURELY LIVE WITH THIS.

    Nice thing about bikes, you can always change stuff over a weekend to achieve a fresh look. Some cool looking bikes there.

    1. I reckon she'd be fairly comfy mate, given he's got mid controls, a bit like a semi race position, obviously those with shorter arms need not apply . . . and yes mate, good call, I might just see how it goes with the stock front end first and even the bobs, fuck mate, my mind's a maelstrom !!!

  2. I dig the shovel, mate. Might be something to consider...... That is, if you kept the receipt for your weld-on.
