A visit at Wannabe's Heaven

When the street ended, left is a junkyard and right the railway, right there in the middle of nowhere in Giessen the best rookie builder is located - meet the deHaas from Wannabe Choppers. His bikes were named Schwarzer Johnny, Messed up or Flotter Otto - rough names for rough custombikes with lots of details, lots of parts full of humor or techniqual raffinesse.

Bastybikes from Romania

Creativity beats everything, so for me this guy from Romania Bastybike is the perfect incarnation of a garage worker in best Zero Style. You need a tube bender, hey, where's the problem mate - build your own ones. You need a english wheel, see above. You want a cool chopper? Take this Ural and build your wining price chopper. That's all.
