The Dime City "Brass Cafe" - Featured on Bike EXIF

Monday, October 11, 2010 2:21:33 PM EDT

Well, everyone, the day is almost here! Cafe Racer TV debuts on Discovery HD Theater this Wednesday night at 9:00PM EST. And if you're anything like us, you're waiting with your kickstand down to enjoy the show!

 

As most of you know, The DCC Crew has been toiling away for the past couple of months resurrecting a 1968 CB450 we pulled from a junk yard.. What a wreck she was, but with a little time and patience we managed to bring her back to life with some good looks and guaranteed "ton-up" performance.

 

Chris Hunter, the guru behind BikeEXIF, was kind enough to feature "The Brass Cafe" on the front page of his acclaimed website. The DCC Crew thanks you Chris! And we also thank all our friends, family and the others that helped us over the last 90 tireless days while completing this project. There is no way we could done it without you all!

 

- Herm and Jason

Use it or...use it.

It's no secret, that here at Dime City we try to use everything we can from these old rust buckets when reconstructing them for their new life.

 

Along with our philosophy to keep the soul of the original motorcycle alive, we also want to show people that what they have in their garage can be rebuilt into the bike of their dreams with a little patience, some ingenuity and basic tools.

Another one of Herms' great ideas. He's the thinker for sure.

 

He's so cool.. Man.

 

What you see in the picture isn't what you think it is. Can you figure it out?
