cargo bikes #2


cargo bikes

i have always wanted to build an awesome cargo here are some brain storming images that i am using for inspiration






I really like classic lines shape and an overall clean look on any bike that I build I also like my bikes to be understated and the indvidual quality parts to speak for themselves.

i love this little bike its a super cheap build and looks like heaps of fun! built by gifni richata from indonesaia heres what he said "I'm working as a concept artist/illustrator and started my own studio ( www.oraystudios.com ) and now with my friend Nandang, a mechanic who helped me building this bike, we're gonna start a small custom bike garage called Hajarbroxx motorcycles, and hopefully we'll start making really cool bikes in near future..."
good shit gifni!!!!
