Bike #24

Vicious circle, AP crew-Take a German “Whitestar” frame, perform a few non-production modifications to set it apart, top it off with good sense about what “add on” custom components should be bolted on, and what you have is a good example of Dutch ingenuity! I’m sure the “Whitestar” frame must have been an interesting challenge for the AP crew to work with, and I’m glad to see that something really personal (and unique) has been created around it!

The first thing that catches your eye on this build is the shortened “Metropolis” springer fork! Many builders would have been hesitant to cut down one of these front ends, but in this case it was a great idea! It really helps instill a classic sense to the lines of this bike!The paint appears to be a subdued metallic blue, and it is very effective on this build! The builders also did a great job preparing the frame, with the welds cherried out to perfection.

The rolling heart of this bike is where we find Rigida rims laced to a Nexus 8 hub, allowing for some fast action when needed! The blue paint on the frame is also carried over to the rims. These blue “Rigidas” have the added touch of displaying the bikes name “Vicious Circle” in chrome letters on the main surface! These fabricators have done a great job with the frame modifications on this bike, and have chosen the components wisely; this bike really stands out from the crowd!
