The bike kinda builds itself,
all I do is put it together.

The Hitchcock Rigid Conversion

Mission Statement

This blog has been set up as a record of my attempt to build a cool Bobber style bike out of the Royal Enfield Bullet. With the cost of genuine early British and American bikes and parts spiralling upwards in the face of the current global economic climate, building a retro style custom is rapidly becoming cost prohibitive. Initially, there will be a period of accruing parts and information as the bike I intend to re-create is my daily rider.
I have heard so many horror stories about the Indian made Bullet from people who's mate used to have one, that I have lost count. All I can say is that I have covered over 20,000 miles on mine in the last three and a half years, and feel happy that it is quite capable of doing another 20.
So if you like the idea or just curious, you are welcome to come along for the ride.

Look Familiar?


Found this for sale in India, only ships in quantities of 10+, somehow looks strangely familiar to me! Even the photograph is pretty similar.

Heavens Above

Coming at ya right out of the leftfield, what do you reckon to this then ??? I reckon is so different that it's great. Made by Sachs as a bit of a concept I think, but what a piece of kit.
