Teh BIGGEST U-Lock

ChopperOlli built it. Maybe because his custom Jopo got stolen in our 'hood recently?

Jopo Pista

Or maybe Jopo Tarck? ChopperOlli is on some real next level shit here...

So what we have here: a classic 1960s Finnish 22" wheel-size Helkama Jopo frame modified heavily to correspond more or less a 54cm size classic track bike. More pics of the project here.

Peugeot From Outer Space

Well, not really but quite funky nonetheless.

ChopperOlli found this, for inspiration?

Olli's Pripyat

ChopperOlli wrote couple of days ago an epic story of how a pile of rusty iron he dug out under the snow in his folks' backyard became a funky fixed gear bicycle literally over a night in order for him to have a bike to participate on the Yksivaihde.net Wool Ride.

I'm too lazy to start translating it to you but the pictures HERE tell you enough. Damn!

Rossin Ghibli Reborn

Tuukka's trusty old Rossin Ghibli road frame finally died sometime ago when the seat tube broke for the second time. The frame was handed over to ChopperOlli, some time passed and this is what it looks like now, in the last pic below. Looking forward to seeing how it ends up finally.

And T_M, this is all dedicated to you, man.

Bike DIY Corner: Rebirth of 'Crescent Pista'

What happens when you find a dead and abandoned bike frame in the woods and give it to someone who knows how to braze and weld, and is not afraid to experiment a little bit? This happens. RokPete's Crescent road frame is reborn as a 'Crescent Pista' in the skilled hands of ChopperOlli. 

Now we are waiting for the full build pics to emerge. 

Olli's New Whip: Kosmos

ChopperOlli is bending steel again. 

New project is under way, the draft name is 'Kosmos' and I believe the inspiration came from those wheels he just built, actually. 

Here's a full gallery of hi-res pics. And hey, it's barspinnable too!

DIY METAL Arrospok By Olli

What the...? 

Yes, a DIY "aero"-wheel AKA Arrospok by our Master of Metal, ChopperOlli. 

Vintage Track Racer by Olli

Check this out, click them damn pics again!

According to a rumor going around, the pictured pre-WWII track bicycle was recently found under a pile of old junk in the back of the boiler room of the Käpylä velodrome in Helsinki by some old janitor dude. The 'drome was built between 1938-1940. Whoa, could that really be...?

No, just kidding. The bike is actually the latest project by our very own Bike Designer Extraordinaire, Olli AKA ChopperOlli. You remember this, right? And this?

Look here for plenty of pics detailing how a 1980s Peugeot race bike became something entirely else. Incredible.

Now that this project is done, he is currently working on a prototype for a trick track bike which will have dual mono fork design etc. Can't wait to see that.

Yksivaihde.net Special Fixed Gear Beer Tap

Like Flavor Flav would probably say: 'Yea, boieeee!' 

Here's us yksivaihde.net boys' concept of a very special beer tap to be built for our Xmas Party 2008, as designed by our metal-bending DIY guru extraordinaire ChopperOlli.

It's a beauty and I'm feeling thirsty already! 

Only thing is that the tap would NOT be flowing with Beck's Beer nor Carlsberg if it really existed, that's for sure. No but wait, knowing Olli, it's that actually a picture of a real tap he already built? 

Twisted Rog

Just look at the pictures and follow the transformations that Olli's old Yugoslavian ROG road bike's been through during last month or so. Yes, it really is a "mono fork" on the last photo. 

Here's more pictures, even if you don't understand the discussion (it's in Finnish), just look and wonder. 

Ok, Olli AKA ChopperOlli is of course a semi-legendary Finnish DIY-bike builder who has had some other infamous projects too.
