Circus Act

At the Wolfgang Circus, we are busy adding items to our juggling act. Last week we officially added one more ball to the two or three already in the air: Custom Bike Building Basics by Chris Callen of Cycle Source magazine fame. Chris approaches the subject of building bikes from scratch a little differently than I do, and that’s probably a good thing.

Chris’ outline includes things like: Setting up a Shop, Working with Steel, Love thy Welder, Getting Ready, Tearing it Down, Sheet Metal Fab, and Saddle Work, along with three start-to-finish assembly chapters. The assembly chapters document the construction of three bikes – none of these are pro street bullets or expensive over-chromed choppers. No, these bikes are way more down-home than that.



Look for a new spin on building bikes from scratch – done with a lot of help from Chris Callen from Cycle Source Magazine.


Chris’ juggling act promises to be ready for viewing this spring, so be sure to buy your tickets now before they’re all gone.
