Looks like Love Cycles "Birdcatcher is all sold out.  It was an exact copy of Jammer's early 70's smooth "birdcatcher" and appeared to be more a labor of love than a profit item.  I have a small backyard aluminum foundry, so I know the work involved to cast it, polish it, and machine it
There's miles to go before I sleep.

Don,

Those Birdcatchers that Love Cycles makes are awesome.  It's cool being located so close to an old style chopper shop like Love Cycles.  I've been in there a few times.  Jerimiah is a really cool guy.

I'd like to go to their aniversary party.  Are you going?  I was pissed when I found out that the brass birdcatchers were sold out.  The refactory cement in my foundry will hold up to casting brass, and I might be able to use the Love Cycle birdcatcher as a mold, but I don't have an area set up for casting and left some items when I moved...I don't even have the garage set up in this house yet.  I should probably put a Handy Hannah on it instead, for somethine "old school".

My apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but you have mad skills, my friend. Reminds me of the old iron my dad & friends built & rode when I was a kid.

I've always wanted a Flatty & hate I didn't get one before prices went crazy. I passed on a super clean, TüV-legal UL chop when I was stationed in Germany in the mid '90's for $6500 & still kick myself for it.

Don (Pzokes) had a great eye for old chops and strong building skills. Unfortunately he passed away in April 2012. He was a real genuine guy and a friend. He'd be thrilled that people are still appreciating his work.

Dang. Did not know this. RIP, friend.
