Dig this Shovel? Own it.

Our friend and EDR sponsor, Caleb Owens from Cro Custom has put his blue Shovel on the block to fund other projects. This is a bike that has made both El Diablo Runs and we've all witnessed Caleb pouring the coal to this thing. Here's what he's got so say:

Check out this months The Horse mag for the feature on this bike. I will consider trades for Chevy pick up, 55-68 short bed. This bike was built as my personal ride in 2003-04, I am selling to finish other projects in the works. This bike is bullet proof, it has made the El Diablo trip 2 years in a row without an issue.
It has been seen in several mags, including Dice, Iron Horse, and The Horse BC. This bike will soon be featured in an up an coming issue of the Horse.
This bike was painted by Marcus from Lucky Seven Customs. Marcus is the paint wizard who does all of Matt Hotches bikes

Caleb's Bike


This bike has been ridden, and has general wear and tear. Ride it to the local bar or cross country, this bike has never left me on the side of the road. If shows are your thing, it would not take much to get this bike up to show quality.

I will deliver the bike within a 100 miles locally, check forwardair.com for other shipping options. Thanks for looking.

$16,000 US

EDR 07 hits the Magazine Stands


We got a box of the newest July issue of Cycle Source in the mail today and Chicago Wil wrote a great story with some Rad shots that starts on page 10 of the magazine! Amazing job Wil! You'll remember Wil rode that rootbeer sorta orange colored '52 Pan with his crew. Fuck if he doesn't embody the type of guy that this run was made for! If you can't wait til next year this will only make it harder and if your kicking yourself as the editor of the magazine says he is doing then the story will be like a kick to the nuts that won't go away til you go next year.

Blue Shovel?

We're working on a calendar of some of the best bikes on this year's run. We've got contact info on all of them except one, this blue shovel pictured below. I think it was that with the beard, black t-shirt and tattoos. Anyone got his contact info? Hit me up if you do: billb@revolution-ads.com
