By "work of OCC" you mean after they tack weld it, and the people they've hired to finish it come in and do their work right?

My father in law got to see the Miller Bike, and talk to a rep from Miller. Same story. I also know a guy that supplies stuff to a few "famous" bike builders, and hes said about the same thing. They tack weld, get their eyebrows waxed for the camera, and then a crew comes in after the cameras shut off and finish it up.

They are far from bike builders, they are merely bike assemblers. I've built more bikes than they have to be honest.

Really...you've built far more motorcycles than them. I believe you that they don't actually build them, but i have doubts that you build motorcycles.

Never said motorcycles.

You don't need to doubt anything. I don't build motorcycles. I've built ONE drag bike, they don't build anything, they ASSEMBLE THEM! There is a huge difference. My bike is made 100% by me, welded by me, machined parts done by me, polished parts done by me, fabrication done by me.
Handle bars, hand grips, all suspension components, steering stem, frame, sub frame, all mounts etc.
They BUY parts and put them in someone elses frames.

You see, you failed.

My first bike was hand built by me with my parts and components.

i d love to see that monkey!!!

I didnt fail, what you said was off topic. They were talking about a motorcycle, you're talking about bikes.

I work at a bike shop, and building bikes is not that hard. Congratulations for building them yourself.

They are just for show but they do come up with some amazing designs and paint schemes for these things. I'm sure they know how to build the bikes it's just easier for the show.

No...it looks yellow.
