Bullet... the man... the frame

This is my buddy Bullet. His real name is mostly a loosely kept secret, i could tell you but then he would choke me out. not fun. Bullet can be described as a bit eccentric, a bit crazy perhaps, but he is definately one of the coolest guys you will ever meet. Right off the bat his thick New York accent will let you know this guy is a serious tough guy, after a few stories(trust me there are plenty) you will know for sure, Bullet is one character you want to keep on your friends list, and off the enemies list.
Bullet and I worked together at a bike shop in Tampa. His in shop antics and his passion for bicycles were enough to keep the rest of us at the shop entertained. Bullet also has a knack for welding and his welding abilities and his passion for bikes led to him building his own custom frames. He has built a few mountain bikes, and even a few "freak bikes"(i wish i had some pictures), but most recently he decided to build this track bike you see in the pictures. Bullet is currently teaching welding lessons to rich dentists kids who want to build thier own bikes... as if they couldnt afford one off the shelf? but i digress, i would love to be able to take these lessons myself.

If your looking for something crazy, functional, or even a race worthy steel bike, Bullet would definately be a great man to turn to in your custom frame needs. Though he mostly builds what he wants to build, and if you got a problem with that, ghet oudda here!
