Chopper mania – USA

Fantastic detail on this bicycle chopper.

 New Yorker and AtomicZombie member, Kempracing, has an addiction. But, don’t worry, it’s a good one.

He loves to design and build choppers. It doesn’t matter if they’re on two wheels or three. Each one is unique. Kempracing puts a lot of thought and care into his bikes.

Check out the detailed web design of this chopper. He built and donated this chopper for a raffle at the Howe Caverns Bicycle Show and Swap Meet in New York this past July. A lucky winner pedaled off with this beauty.

And, an embedded star burst heart on the trike he built for his wife, Patty. Awww.

Trike in Edmonton, Alberta

It’s called the Cancer Trike, because I started working on it after being diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. It’s been great therapy, and I owe you all a big thank you for showing me that anyone can do a project like this. I’m already planning a second trike.

Brisbane (Australia) Chopcycle build

“Hi All. Just thought I would put up some photos of the chopper cycle I am working on. Its nearly ready for paint but I was too focussed on building to post till now.

The idea was to build a chop cycle which looks as similar as possible to an old rigid frame Harley and using the atomic zombie plans as a base of course.

I’m not quite finished yet but only have the bobber seat (half finished) and the mudguard and maybe a sissy bar to go before paint. Anyway a picture is worth a thousand words they say so here goes.”
