John Farr's Skeleton Bike

John Farr drove over to Marietta, Georgia from his shop in Oplelika, Alabama so that I could photograph his titanium skeleton bike for Hot Bike magazine. The skeleton, which creates the frame of this ground-up custom bike, was investment cast of Grade 2 Titanium and, trust me, everyone who saw it loved it. Middle-aged domestic engineers would spot us coming down the street out of the windows of shops they were in and would chase us down to get a better look at it, hollering "STOP! I WANT TO SEE IT!" Men, women and children asked to pose with it for pictures and everyone wanted to know where the gas tank is.
