Brat style bike, from what ive seen, are functional and performance based. the Japanese seem to have come up with this style. actually id say Go Takamine of http://www.bratstyle.com/custombike/ created it

bobber refers to a short (low to the ground bike). ussually short front end, less functional as far as ground cleareance goes. 1950s style, bobbed fenders, tanks etc.

Amazing is an understatement.

he really has insipred me to build as much as i can with a tig and some mild steel.

for anyone who doesnt have a ton of money to throw at parts.. follow dude on instagram @modelk53.... he pretty much makes everything by hand with a tig, files etc. basic tools but turn out crazy
