Jr Design's... nice bike, Sr Design's.... WTF?


Jr's looked great though not realistic but yeah I'm getting tired of the same giant wheel etc. Sr's bike was all FUBR. Why make that kind of bike for a restaurant? Why even make a new bike for a restaurant?! And why am I still watching this show??!! I hate Monday nights.

I don't know, last season I thought Seniors bikes largely looked better. Junior simply has too many contracts with suppliers and he is using those big wheels to death. Prior to that, I would have largely given the advantage to Junior.

The issue with Senior's bikes are that everything is largely Jason's vision. He now has his way of doing things and when everything is made off of a singular design, I'm sure it is going to begin to take on a particular, and familiar, style.

Certainly this season I give Junior an advantage, but only because the trike was so unusual. He still used those big wheels.

Yeah those bikes must be the biggest bikes anyone could ever make. They look like something Andre The Giant would ride. That same muscular frame and big fancy wheels look is getting old. I wish the two guys would start making bikes that are practical and handle well. I want to see them produce something refined because that's where true skill shows.

I noticed that the bike jr and sr were building together had to be welded by rick, I wonder if it's because they can't do that themselves. lol

Katee Sackhoff (BSG and Longmire) had the guys at classified moto build her a very custom bike a while back, really functional and perfect for her. Even though it's a girls bike, it ain't bad at all:

Yea, that's different. it almost looks like a drag bike. I bet it can move. I'd love to see a picture of her riding that thing. Thanks for the link.
