Not sure how many people here are into or were into BMX bikes... but some one sent me a link today to a forum where a guy has built a 1/3 scale P.K Ripper from the 80's...

Now this wouldn't seem like much if it was a kit, but the guy literally hand crafted / machined every thing himself!!! even the stickers were created by him making it a pretty sick feat...

Anyway, here is a pic of the finished product, but i highly recommend checking out the forum (where the pics came from) for pics of how he actually built the thing...

That is one serious craftsmanship.
 
^ exactly... i mean considering it took him 3 years to put it together is really saying something... given that he did only use his lunch breaks...
