BRUISER CUSTOM CYCLE
Southern California
Bruiser Custom Cycle started in 2001 in a small garage in Orange County, California, from the ideas of two guys and a creative outlet. One of the guys, Clint Case, was looking for a way to show his artistic and creative side. He was thinking about becoming a tattoo artist, but somehow he came across a guy tooling some leather belts and wallets and it looked like something that might be right up his alley. His own bike needed a new seat so he decided to make his own and tried tooling some leather. Clint fabbed up a seatpan and fit some old foam to the pan and then sat down to give this leather-tooling thing a try. He instantly knew that this was the creative outlet he was craving. Now Clint and Mark (his dad) own and run Bruiser Custom Cycle, where Mark works mostly on running the bike shop and Clint handles most of the art side and all the leather tooling. Clint uses top-grade leather and lacing on every seat and the best dyes and stains available. They are open to all ideas and styles, and they even do seats for dirt bikes! Turning raw leather into art and making it look 100 years old is his specialty. Clint loves to work from his customers' original ideas, so if you've got an idea but your drawing expertise consists of stick figures, Clint has no problem whipping up something for you. Whether it's a new pan built from scratch or an old seat you want re-upholstered, Bruiser has you covered. Giving the customer's bike serious personality is Bruiser's number-one priority.
