OLD BLACK CHAINED TO THE HILL.

The build of Old Black, the bike from LC Fabrications, which took second place in the Freestyle class at the 2012 World Championship of Custom Bike Building began immediately after its builder Jeremy Cupp returned home from the 2010 Championship. While at the Championship that year Jeremy looked at the history behind Sturgis and in particular the part played by the Jackpine Gypsies and their ongoing hill climb races. As Jeremy himself says: “I’m into design from the ‘20s and ‘30s and I wanted to pay tribute to the early Sturgis climbers and the Jackpine Gypsies.”
