Hi all,

Does anyone know of any British built choppers or custom bikes? Similar to what occ do just in the UK not the USA.

Thanks!

seen there bikes at the bristol air ballon festival a few years back. good but expensive

talked to a guy in the Us in April and he recommended

even though he worked for another company who made choppers
they will sell kits if your looking at building and apart from the import tax is about half the price od the UK choppers

thats if your building them

My mate Glen at Cleveland Bikespray built a chop last year to showcase what his company does; I daresay if you threw enough money at him he'd build you one too biggrin

Hi guys, thankyou for the replies!

I'm not looking for someone to make one for me but make one myself or more precisely me and the step father.

He really likes the look of v-rods and so on whereas I like the american confederate bikes in particular the wraith I think it was.

I was curious to see who in the UK does this as I couldn't think of any.

Thanks to your replies I now have a source of ideas and parts!

Cheers guys!

Are you sure the examples given have the ability to build bikes of the calibre of OCC? I mean, not everyone can make such god awfully proportioned and ugly monsters wink

On a serious note Batastini etc will be very expensive and you might well be cheaper importing something from Exile in the US, the exchange rate will make it pretty affordable, it'll be much rarer and better looking (the owner is a Brit too if that matters)
