I’ve been looking for a bike to ride the local beach paths, downtown parks & Carlsbad bar runs along side the “Little Lady” for a year now. Jeff @ Church of Choppers posted this hand built bike a few weeks back & when I saw the photos I thought that’s it, to top it off she was for sale.
So I struck a deal with “BrewDude” Steve, Stoked!
When it showed up I was blown away!
Steve’s work is amazing & the component selection is perfect. I cut down the bars a couple of inches just to make it mine and I’ll add a Brooks saddle but other than that it’s perfect
Photos don’t really do it justice especially on a gray day but I gave it a shot.

  1. He’s been making excellent frames for years. Nice score. That kick back is nice. I want to see you ride that up the steep ass hill by your house!

  2. It’s a fun ride for sure. a lot of braking, shifting going on.

    Troy: Surprisingly the spinner gear is pretty light. I’d be really pissed off by the top but I bet I could make it.
    Probably not going to try though.
