Bare Bones Sportster Rigid Chopper
Charlie Dey from New Jersey checks in with his bare bones Sporty in a Paugcho ridgid. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there is nothing like a simple, stripped down and clean chop. I love bikes that get a little more wild as much as the next guy, but bikes like this are straight up bitchin’, look great, and are instant classics. Kudos to Charlie on creating a sick looking scoot on his very first attempt at building a bike.

The bike was my first build, with help from some good friends. It is as simple as it can get, but very fun to ride. Late model sporty, I took out of a 1 year old bike I bought new. I couldn’t stand riding a bike that looked like all the others. Paughco ridged, factory stretch and rake. Hugger front end w/ 19″ wheel up front.
