So you want to be a convention Bike builder? Well friend, before you rush out and buy that bicycle kit, the one that will set you on the road to riches and fame, stop and think about the level of expertise and artistry the top builders have attained. More importantly think about how long it has taken them to attain it! Let’s look at a few key issues…
Education
You’d be surprised how well educated a lot of today’s top Bike builders are. Any of them have degrees (some more than one!) ranging from mechanical engineeRing to business and marketing management. Billy Lane, the founder of Chopper Inc, has Any patents relating to bicycle technology in his name for example. What about someone a minute more “old school” like Dave Perewitz? Dave has accumulated close to forty years of mechanical, metalworking and painting experience. Not theoretical, but genuine hands on, early morning late night kind of experience. Could you put that kind of time in? Matt Hotch is still only young, but has gained an expected amount of practical touch customizing first bicycles, then Vw’s before attractive on to convention bike building.

These guys are building choppers and convention bikes that are state of the art. They don’t get thrown together in the yard; the bicycle shops have all the Tools and Tool required to produce almost whatever out of metal, not just bikes. Just as prominent are the other services these builders use; the local chrome platers, machinists, painters and so on. These guys have just as prominent a part to play in the building of these one off bikes as the designer builders themselves.
Desire
All the top convention bike builders live for one thing; building the best bikes they can. They truly live eat even dream about convention bikes (and seeing at some of the more way out creations you can totally believe this from the designs they produce!) They are constantly striving to build bikes better. Its not about money for the top guys, I am convinced of that.
So where does that leave midpoint Joes like you and me? Actually, I don’t think we are too badly off; in fact if you want to build a convention bike, it has probably never been easier. Here’s my take on it….
Education
There is an expected amount of information for the guys who want to start down the road to convention bike building. Videos, books websites, all of them help to flatten the studying curve for a novice. Most of the material out there relates to bicycle kits, and for the beginner, building a bicycle kit is definitely the best way to go if you want to get real hands on experience. After that there are bicycle maintenance courses, which again will allow you to get up to speed as fast as potential in your quest to become the next Arlen Ness!
Facilities
To put together a shop like the ones you see on television costs thousands of dollars. But you don’t need all that stuff if you start with a bicycle kit. bicycle kits can be put together with some pretty basic Tools, providing they are of good quality. Two things that are an absolute must in my view though are a torque wrench and a basic lift. With these two tools, you can tighten the bicycle kits fittings correctly, and not break your back while you are doing it!
Desire
Well this is one area where you can match the pros, no question. If you truly want to be a convention bike builder, start doing it for fun and put your bicycle kit together.
We can’t all be Billy Lane, Eddie Trotta or Russell Mitchell, but we can have a lot of fun trying!
