Production Turned Custom... Santiago Chopper... Debuts Brand New 2006 Line

Tampa, FL, September 19, 2005 --(PR.com)-- You’re sitting at the red light, in your car, day dreaming about the open road and the breeze in your hair when all of the sudden a roar rumbles in your ear. A sleek, wild machine pulls up next to you and you are blown away! Never in your wildest imagination did you think you would be lucky enough be next to, let alone sit on, something as flawless as the custom chopper next to you. Well now you can with the release of a brand new line of custom choppers without the custom price from Santiago Chopper of Tampa Florida.

Santiago Chopper has been building custom choppers for over a decade and is responding to the demand of the public with a new line of custom designed, custom built choppers that anyone can own. The new line is set for debut at Biketoberfest in Daytona this October.

There are 8 new bikes that include various styles to fit all preferences. The line consists of Choppers, Bobbers and Trikes that all reflect the ability and creativity that Santiago Chopper customers have come to know and love. Now available are the Minos Prostreet, Minos Chopper, Bobber Softail, Bobber FL, Pscylebilly, Trike 39, The Trike, and Black Ink. The bikes come standard with an 88ci engine and pricing begins at $19,000; however, larger engines are available.

Typically when consumers want a custom bike, they purchase a Harley Davidson for around $20,000 then buy custom parts to personalize their bike. They may even have a custom paint job, but the bike never truly is custom, but bears the price tag of a full custom when all is said and done. With literally tens of thousands of bikes on the road it is hard to truly stand out from the rest. Unless you have in excess of $50,000, your dream of a custom bike is just that… a dream.

“It was important for us to give the working man his own custom chopper,” says Alan Bernard, owner, designer and builder at Santiago Chopper. “Not many people can afford the customs you see on television, so we wanted to change that” says Alan, “custom choppers make a statement about who you are and what you are all about. Our choppers shout out, Look at me!”

Santiago Chopper has been building custom choppers long before it was popular and has been featured in biker magazines across the globe. They have numerous “Best in Show” awards from some of most well known competitions such as Sturgis and Easyrider. Santiago also offers theme customs and have such creations as “The Wild One” dedicated to Marlon Brando and the most recent, “Rockabilly Tribute” that celebrates the oldest form of Rock-n-Roll. Complete custom creations are still the heart and soul of Santiago, but the latest line seeks to fill a void by making custom choppers without the custom price. It’s not a bike….it’s a chopper!
