"My dad and I started building bicycles together back in the mid 90's. It all started when I saw another kid riding a sweet chopper bike through town and I decided I wanted one of my very own. Next thing I knew, Dad and I were chopping some front forks off of an old Huffy. From there we decided to see how "Low we could go" with a bike frame. After that we got a little crazy and built a looooong bike, 12 feet in length. We then started building "nice" bikes, such as the original spider bike and the reflector chopper.
Attached are some pictures from the early days of the SYC [Scrap Yard Choppers]. These are the first creations from the Whitt men. Of all the photos attached, only two of these bicycles are still in existence. The spider bike became the Christmas Bike and Ben's bike is in pieces waiting to be rebuilt again one day."
