This is a one of a kind 2007 custom hard tail chopper with less than 500 miles. This chopper started out 3 years ago as an early 1900’s board track racer. The bike was put on hold before it was resurrected by now owner Chuck Croteau at Redline Service in Tucson.
Chuck and Phil Korte from Create-A-Custom Cycles in Tombstone, AZ were inspired by a 1957 J.C. Higgins Flightliner Bicycle which was for sale and quickly decided the board trackers new fate. The bicycle is also included in this auction and looks great next to the chopper.
After many months of preparation and after thought, the board track racer was transformed by Phil Korte into a show stopper and great ride.
