Default ChopSmitty’s "SheWinns" Custom
The guys at Barnett's were impressed with this, but while we kind of dig the classic bicycle styling, it looks like more loss than win...

I agree thats a loss, I like very few show bikes. Whats the point of something that you cant ride very far? It doesnt even look finished without a traditional tank on it.

Speaking of not going very far, where the heck is the gas tank? Is it that area under the engine/transmission mounting area? It kind of looks like a small triangular shaped tank under there. And if not where?

Thanks guys... The tank holds just under 3 gallons and is that "small triangular shaped" area under the engine. The bike rides like a dream but most importantly it was 100% hand built for my wife!

It's kinda like a fancy looking moped. I can appreciate the work that went into this. And I will say that I like it from a fabrication standpoint and that it is purpose built.

I think it's pretty cool and shows what someone can build that is different than mainstream. Usually that's what these shows are about.

Well done in my book.

I would like to see it with a smaller rear tire, but the man has some sick fabrication skills.
