Sunn Radical Replica
The Childhood Dream
This wasn’t something I planned, it was more like the stars aligned during interesting chats with creative people. A post-modern replica of a childhood dream.
There’s a lot more to come about this bike in the future. Below is the current state of content.

Absolutely stunned by this rig so far. Not the exact dream build spec I wanted, but sometimes you gotta use what you have (from my old cracked Supreme). When every dream bike you see on insta is built with freebies from brands it’s a different game when you have to find and buy everything yourself!
