Always loved Miami Vice as a kid & here's a custom build that is as camp as Crockett & Tubb's wardrobe (but i had to do it) & I think it's very representative of the time!!!
Been waiting on decals for a while but for different reasons they are not here so I'm not 100% positive I'm going to bother with them now as i think I will be breaking this bike soon as i'm just running out of space & have 4 other builds lined up.

:daumenhoch:
that's cool - real pity about the decals they would've finished it off nicely indeed.

Ive not cancelled them yet but Im just thinking that if i break the bike it might be better to leave the bike clean so that someone else can pug their own decals on it as i'm awaiting some in a custom pink / purple colour way.

coool :coolsmiley: ... suppose it's Crockett's then (because of the huge white downtube)?

I wouldn't know anything about the size of his Schlong :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: but YUP I guess youre right :daumenhoch: Personally i was thinking it was more like a poor mans version of his White Testarossa :daumenhoch:

I'll be interested in the crank, tyres and fork standers when you split please :daumenhoch:

Exactly what i had in mind when i did this build, a cross between (the car) & their wardrobe I just kinda thought the fins in the seat looked like those on the engine bay & the GT chainring represented (to me at least) the air ducts on the side of the Testarossa & the wide bars with the white grips reminded me a little of the Ferrari's white wing mirrors :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
