Joe’s Shovel
This beauty is one of Joe’s personal builds – which is a little unusual as we’re usually too busy building other people’s bikes to have the time to take on our own – so this one is a little special to him, even if he hasn’t owned it in over 4 years now.
It was built on the cheap, using as many second hand parts as possible. As Joe is a true traditionalist, this bike was built as a true hot rod using non brand name parts and only using parts from other models or hand made components. Starting with a 1958 panhead frame which came to us badly damaged. A few repairs and he had a solid base to build his bike.
