wholly shmokes...that thing is GORGEOUS!

also shows a tremendous amount of skill and craftsmanship....IMHO, moreso than a great vast majority of the bike builders out there.

Just gorgeous.  I would want to just keep that in my living room and not ride it.

Wow, A+ examples of skill, creativity, and dedication.

The fact they are actually ridable, and that he does just tops it off.

Man-think of the epic scene I would have next time my bike caught on fire!
