Here’s a quick history lesson. This was the first 280 bike built in the US. The wheels had to come from Europe because there was no other place to get them. The tire came from a family connection to Metzler overseas. It was also the first bike with black Billet wheels before that was a thing in the US. It has been featured at Barnett’s magazine. And is now owned by Gary Barnett, a.k.a. Chopper. Living in Arizona.
And it also features a very rare middle finger, billet air cleaner built by prison city choppers. So remember when you see something custom built sometimes there’s a bigger story behind it than you realize. ✌️🇺🇸
