I think it was CMT that had a series of builders that they did a build off that was a really cool show. They had a low rider rat truck that would pull up to the builders shop and unload a crate full of components and they could use what they wanted from it………They should do it again. They had some cool bikes man. I’m not so much of a fan of the OCC super raked out bikes – these custom builders made some fairly ridable bikes.

Yep, Rick had some skills.

Paul Sr. will work part time and get divorced again

Paul Jr. will design dog parks

Mikey will try to figure out how to get his head out of his ****

Rick will go to work with Vinnie and Cody

Been watching the show for a few years now. The show began losing its appeal to me when they started doing their own paint in house and then moved into the new monster building. Jr. is not the smartest kid at camp but the bikes lost alot of creative design when he left. When Sr. became more involved on the floor, it was like they were doing no more than a few modifications to production bikes and letting the paint become what made the bike special.

I agree. Exile Cycles is Russel's shop. I also liked the show where 2 builders built a bike and rode together to a bike show where fans voted for the their favorite bike.

For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?
i agree with elusive!! hit the nail on the head

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Was overdue by about two matbe three years. There are numerous builders out there with major skilz that could've out built these three Putz's long ago. They just had the good sense of higher self esteem than to lower themselves to the drama and dollars of Hollyweird. They managed to stay true to their craft and will be pumping out bikes long after Sr., JR., and Mickey are long gone.

Watch Vinnie and Cody hire Paul Jr. so he doesn't have to design doggie parks anymore. Then Paul Sr. comes to the shop everyday to argue with Jr......LOL.
