The Gold Bike aka "Southsyde Cycle"

The bike started as a bare frame which I bought at the Bicycle Shop in Santa Cruz sometime in 2003. The frame was a Dyno Roadster copy.
After riding the bike for a month or two I decided it was time to customize it. The first thing I did was plate the front frame in with sheet metal, I welded it up and Mike did the bondo work.
Striped the frame down again, I hand bent & welded the spider web frame gusset, changed the wheels black 26" powder coated gloss black, Kruiser King forks, Frisco 3 piece cranks & neck....
A few more small changes before it was painted. I welded on a Motorcycle fender and hand built a webbed fender support, changed the wheels again to a 24" rear with a Nexus 7 speed hub, ran shifter cable through the frame, front Shimano Disc brake on Mountain bike front fork, webbed sprocket and then the bike was painted House of Kolors Solar Gold with some Heavy Flake. Bike was painted by Joey Stockdale.
