I'm a graphic designer based in Birmingham England and I had the rebel for about 2 years before it became the monster it is now. I loved the rebel as it was but I'm 5'11 and found it a bit cramped...so rather than buy another bike I decided to build the kind of bike Ihad always wanted. The running gear, wheels and forks are all original rebel along with a few other bits and bobs [see if you can spot them!] the rest was either custom made or off the shelf aftermarket stuff. the whole thing took about 2 years but Iwould bet total man hours are less than 2 months... family, you know...
