Chuck Mielke
Designer | Metal Fabricator 

Growing up in the Detroit area during the 70's was exactly how you would have envisioned the streets of the Motor City. The streets were full of big block Camaros, Hemi Mopars, Cobra Jet Mustangs and every other brand of muscle car imaginable. The Motor City also had a very active custom bike community as the long midwest winters provided the downtime to build some of the most radical choppers of the era. 

My passion with metal work began on the east coast working in small welding shops in the back streets of Trenton, New Jersey. As a young metal fabricator I was fortunate to be mentored by some very talented blacksmiths and craftsmen in the arts of ornamental iron, metal forming, and tube bending which fit-in perfectly with my obsession of building long and low custom motorcycles.                                            

These experiences along with holding an NHRA competition driver's license gives me an appreciation of acceleration and speed which are influences that are built into my designs in the form of one-of-kind metal creations.
