Jesse said he was just a "glorified welder" ! I say he is no such thing. Look at that shitty looking weld @ 1:38. Really ? And he calls himself a welder ? Go be a pipe welder for a few years and pass some x-ray tests then call yourself a welder. That bubblegum looking shit would get you laughed at in most circles. Notice all the grinding he does in this video ? He can't use a torch either !

5:20 looks like he supports the hells angels......

@tdsviper its the same frame though, he just wanted it longer.. I get what youre saying, I think it diesnt change it much personally
-
@tdsviper I think he said he only made it a few inches longer. Jesse is a big dude, the guy who originally built it may have been smaller. I think he only modified it to accommodate his size.

@bigqtech That's Alfred.E.Neuman of MAD Magazine
-
@tdsviper all he did was make it a few inches longer. The lines are pretty much the same as they were when he started.

Very cool.
If hes used to going from scratch though he should make his own frame with similar features. He could just give it his own twist to fit his ideas. Don't take an existing frame and chop it, just make your own imo
-
@tdsviper I could not agree more. Its was extremely sad to see that old chop frame be chopped.

***what is the grinning/smiling boy sticker on jesse's green flames welding helmet? i think i saw it on mtv a long time ago? any help?



Jesse is a awsome bike builder. I like the aggresive bikes he makes.
But in this build, i think he's wrong.
In the beginning he talks about the sweet lines of the frame and how the original builder made a beautiful frame.
Then he chops it up ????
To make it fit his vision. I think he should have left it alone and worked with it, as is.
