When it comes to custom bike building there is always a price to be paid. Most bike builds cost loads of money. Almost all extort countless hours of time. And some, such as the Speed Cretin, can nearly cost you a marriage. Or two. To understand the sordid history of the Cretin one must travel back in time to 1984. The entire tragic tale has been cataloged here.
For those of you have not yet seen the epic video: Speed Cretin Vs. the Wall of Death.
