Custom chopper
Today i decided to go ahead with a chopper build so i went down to bunnings to get some suppliesIt will be made up as i go along i have a rough idea what i want but im shore there will be a few changes as it happens. The model will end up approx 500mm long so heres the start of it building the frame.

Great start. I'm looking forward to seeing how this comes out.
Maybe a spoked wheel for the front though.
