The the first episode of the new season of Discovery Channel’s Bike Build-Off airs on Monday August 7, 2006 at 9:00PM.

The episode features Billy Lane of Choppers Inc. and Russell Mitchell from Exile Cycles.

No doubt you have heard something about the trouble Billy had with his bike on the way to Laconia for the Build-Off. If you haven’t well check out the video over at the Beach Cruiser.

This should be a pretty good episode. I really like both Billy and Russell’s style of bikes. Though I tend to lean a little more towards Billy’s very unique old school made from scratch bikes (even if they do have there problems). The hubless rear wheels are incredible cool.

Russell builds some very nice, clean looking bikes. I personally like the fact that he stays away from chrome and flashy paint jobs. Brushed metal and rattle can black. My personal favorite of Russell’s has to be the trike he built for the Build-off a couple of seasons ago. That was one kick ass ride.

Russell’s Biker Build-off Trike from a couple of seasons ago. It didn’t win but it is still bad ass.

Should be a good episode so check it out on Monday, August 7 at 9:00PM on the Discovery Channel.

Here is a schedule for the Biker Build-Off episodes.
