Rob's bike attracted a lot of attention at the Montreal Bike & Tattoo Show

Remi Theriault

Our friend photographer Remi Theriault has been coming out over the spring and winter to take shots of the shop and some of the bikes. Some his shots will likely be appearing in a magazine later this summer, so we can't show those. But here are some he took with his Hasselblad medium-format camera. You can see more of Remi's work at his site and blog: Remi Theriault: Le Blog

Totally diggin' this knucklehead racer from Hot Dock Customs in Japan. Even has a springer fork!

American Cycle Bike featured in Revolution Magazine


Rob's panhead got a three-page feature in Revolution magazine. I'm sure it made a bit of a contrast from their usual stable of fat-tire, airbrushed-skull choppers. Still, nice to see our work in print (even if they did edit out virtually all mention of the shop itself)



Finished this bike for Scott just in time for the Custom Show in Montreal. Scott comes from a sportbike background, and wanted something a little different for this bobber. We built him this bike using a Canadian Maximum Motorcycles 0/0 frame, an Ultima 113 cu. inch engine and 6-speed tranny, customized Vance and Hines exhaust, and a lot of other custom features.

Firing it up!

Mid controls and clutch linkage coming together. The mids were bent from solid square-stock stainless with Anderen-style pegs, and the linkage has had a heim joint and gussets added to it
