Bike #25 

Vicus, Rastabike- I don’t know what the name “Vicus” means exactly, but I think it ought to mean “This bike kicks ass!”

The frame is a combination of various visual elements; the sculpted forward section (nearest the steer tube) reminds me of an old supersonic Concord nosecone; giving it a wicked stance that is impossible to forget! The sense I get from seeing the rear tail section is of a red, white, and black flag, ripped and waving in the wind because of speed! 

This bike appears to be moving even when it’s standing still! The sculpted area where the crank mounts on seems like it might have been designed in a wind tunnel! The pointed forward section ahead of the crank visually pierces the oncoming air! Functionality has not been left behind with this build either!

The rake and trail appears quite reasonable, and goes well with the seat, crank, and pedal positioning!  This radical chopper exhibits some of the best flowing lines and unique frame construction to be seen anywhere!

Many personal and non traditional design elements are built into this bike; it’s the kind of machine that helps reinforce the idea that kustom bicycles are a unique (and vital) form of street art!
