I thought the first few episodes were cool, like the jet bike and black widow and stuff. after that they really just basically stuck a generic motor in a generic frame and paid the painter guy to make it look amazing and were like "here's our awesome new design!"

I would have liked to see them do interesting motor combos, build one for power, or do something innovative instead of just welding shit on to a frame to make it look slightly different than the last one.

There are 1000's of other bike builders out there I'd give my money to before OCC. billy lanes hubless wheel anyone? that is friggin cool



This kind of stuff gets my wheels turnin' haha

imagine making the inner hub section out of an electric motor. Rigidly attached inner stator and the outer hub is the magnetic rotor..... no chains, or belt drives ALL KINDS of torque. Of course it'd be electric and I generally don't like that stuff (mostly because I love the sound of an engine) but I think it'd be really cool on a custom bike
