Yes you read it right. A thread dedicated to those lovable bikes from the Modern Tool and Die company. Often maligned and misunderstood….a frame that only a mother could love ! Their homeliness topped only by their ability to throw the unsuspecting rider through those (almost) chrome Woolly Mammoth style handlebars or off the back of that "Hook and Ladder" frame.
I once asked "Who says MTD's are ugly ?"....and someone replied "Anyone with the gift of sight". It's like when they were building the proto-type and pulling the metal out of the rack the boss stood there chomping on a cigar with a crazed look in his eyes yelling "more metal...more metal !!"
But you know you secretly want one! I have owned several myself . They are actually a well built machine as you would expect from a Tool and Die shop…and some nice customs have been showing up lately. Let's put 'em all in one place, it's time they had their day in the sun!
