I got a close look at it. The only premanufactured parts on it were rotors, the bars, and the chain.

All the rest of it seemed hand chissled. It wasnt cast, nor did the maker use an old fork. The stansions were steel rods, the crown was massivly big, and the 'lowers' had so many chissel marks on it that you could tell it was hand made. It could have used a little more work, but how much would it have cost to make something like that, i mean seriously.. its not exactly like this is a multi-million dollar event that they can get customer high quality trophies for each event..

And for the record, I also thought "holy craptastic batman" when I first saw it :D

I wish my lawn was emo, then the grass would cut itself.

I mean, how much would it have cost to pay a starving local artist some bones to work up something half-decent looking?

One person's art may be another's trophy… just not in this case.

Fugly reward for one's dedication. Atic fodder IMHO.

Ugly, I like the idea of a custom trophy. But that looks like a crack addicts idea of art.
