Readers' Rides

_We get tons of mail here at __Motorcyclist ...__We get loads of mail here at Motorcyclist but unfortunately (and sometimes fortunately) we can't post them all in the magazine. Sometimes we even get cool pictures and thanks to the endless potential of the web we can post them online. This reader sent us pictures of his customs and we wanted to share them. Enjoy._

Just finished reading the Jan. 07' issue, and was very pleased to read multiple articles on real, restored and reproduced variations of some classic bikes. I'm in that line of work myself (classic bikes) and have completed some classic redesigned restored beauties. Naturally, I thought I would share them with you folks at MC mag. The first is a 1979 Triumph\Champion StreetTracker (black bike). The second is a British\American custom classic Tribsa (peach bike). The third is a remarkable Triton (silver bike). All bikes were built with my two hands at Framecrafters Inc. outside Chicago, IL. Id be happy to share any and all information on what it took to build these pieces of art.

Thanks for your time,
