Issue 3

In the third issue of Built, we're celebrating 20 years of Krazy Horse, Britain’s number one custom bike dealership, there’s machines from Rickman Buell, XTR Pepo and Death Machines and the latest selection of builds from Yamaha’s Yard Build custom bike programme.

We visit custom bike shop The Foundry Motor on our tour of Cornwall, meet the custom crew in Paris and Wisconsin, and meet Karles Vives, who’s tour company Scram Africa organises trips into the desert for classic and neo-classic bike riders.

Look forward to event reports from Bike Shed London,  Malle Mile and The Hot Hayride, the launch of Deus’ latest flick ‘South to Sian’, plus there’s fashions from Pike Brothers, Urban Rider and Dickies Urban Workwear.
