    From Ordinary to ExtraOrdinary

    Someone here shared a picture of a red tricked out F6B, but I can't remember who that members was. Sorry! However, here is the story behind that tricked out F6B that belongs to Jay Ford. Beautiful work Jay.

    I'm not a big wheel bagger fan, but the level of work and ingenuity that went into making it his is excellent. I can't say that I understand the tablet placement though as it seems very afterthought for such a detailed well thought out build. Looks like they just set it there.

    I'm pretty sure that bike, in that form, doesn't exist anymore. He tore it all down and is starting over. Info can be found on the Custom F6B Facebook page.

    I spent some time with Jay a few weeks back and saw the parts in for paint - he's making it better.
    He's a real cool cat and he's got a lot of very imaginative ideas.
    WingDing is in Dallas next year - his home.
    I'm looking forward to seeing what he comes up with for that!
    Cheers,
    Steve

    I'm in the planning stages of a trip to the Gulf Coast next year. I may try to fit Grapevine and WingDing #39 on the itinerary.

    I like the color, the front wheel not so much. But a cool bike nonetheless

    My hat is off to anyone that can muster up the huevos to destruct a perfectly good bike or car and reconstruct their vision. And I'm not talking changing out seats or adding blinky things.

    What really must take nerve is to understand that the end result customization may only appeal to the one with the vision and no one else.

    I like that blue too.

    I always enjoy seeing peoples visions especially when they are a departure from the norm. Big wheels are not my cup of tea but I sure do like the style of the wheel and think it would look great in a stock diameter. The valve covers look pretty nice too.
