Jordan Spahr bought this from a junkyard in Elkhart, IN back in 2006 or something. Eventually it ended up in my hands. What was once a rusted out piece of crap, is now a really fast, slightly cooler looking piece of crap. /// Features /// Original, old, nasty gas tank / Cross bar is a crummy table leg that Jordan welded back in his floor crashing days at MLM's old shop in Elkhart. / Beefy stock Carabela controls. Awesome. / Cruiser bicycle handlebars turned upside down. They originally belonged to the crapbucket who stole Ted Sliwinski's Hobbit. / Hacked up Motobecane pan seat. It's not as uncomfortable as it looks, really. / Grimecas are from a 1980's Trac, as well as the front forks. / Rear suspension is stock Garelli, turned upside down to fit. /// Basically, this damn thing is a death trap, and shouldn't ever be ridden as fast as it can go. But whatever, YOLO, right?
