new bike builder in hickory

trying to get on with this guy building custom bikes so thought i could help rep the business because it is just starting. www.enigmacycles.com

Good luck getting on with them. Shop looks pretty empty for them having 26 years of building experience, but maybe that's because they aren't doing the rest, and opened up only as a bike shop now? If I were you, I'd make a suggestion to him to have a PAST WORK section on his new cycle site, just to back up some of the 26 years of work for famous people, that he is telling about in his about us section. It might help to cement the fact that they have done all that work, and the proof is in the puddin' sorta deal.

I gotta say, that bike he built is sexy, all except for the headlights. He has all these awesome points, and curves all over the bike, and then puts square headlights. I dunno .. just ain't feelin' it.

Good luck though.

yeh i hate the headlights also. but he is building a cobra bike right now and it is going to blow up the bike scene just wait until you see it. nothing like it ever. the paint is 3d it feels like rubbing the scales on a snake. and i have seen his past work it just isnt on the website.

We had a custom bike shop here in sandpoint and I dont think he sold anything. He was really lame and thought he was god in the bike world. He was asking 50k for his bike. He only built one and from the looks of it it was his first. I Understand that people like arlin ness and jesse james probably get 50k for their bikes but they are beautiful. This bike seriously had jaged edges that you could seriously get cut on and duct tape holding wires in place. I think the guy was retarded.
