After Josh Hadar left his first career as a documentary cameraman he entered the nightclub business by reforming and restoring the original Studio 54. This didn't make him happy either so he eventually sold his shares and took a cheap welding class. Shortly after, he created his first bike and his obsession took off from there. Today, Josh has become sort of a George Barris like character, custom building bikes that are collected by a cult following around the world. "What I love about metal sculpting and welding is that there is no standard building methods or techniques required to attain a desired result. I’m basically self-taught in my methods, which is predicated simply on trial and error. Each bike is a progression of intuitive process. The bikes seem to want to be built and the specific building methods seem to unfold as the development evolves. Like watching a film of an explosion run backwards, ideas, shapes and building techniques seem to come from total chaos and settle in one place."Visit revelinnewyork.com for Josh's cultural recommendations in New York City and beyond.
