Each of these builders is hand crafting an amazing build for the event and they will all be pictured here and in Cycle Source Magazine. Leading up to the event we want to give you a little background on each builder and this week we are proud to introduce Austin Martin Andrella of Austin Martin Originals.

Hello,
I’m Austin Martin Andrella owner and sole employee of Austin Martin Originals. This is my second year out hangin with the big dogs of the industry. I’m humbled and super honored to be a part of the fifth annual BMR 1st ever hillbilly invitational! I build a wide variety of bikes but for now am known for my economical Yamaha XS builds the last couple yrs. Modern tech with the old school vibe, with a lot of one off hand made parts. I work out of a modest 1000 sq. Ft. Garage in my back yard. My shop is equipped with alot of new tools and a bunch of vintage machinery. Lathe capabilities, tig & mig welders, tube benders, tube notcher, sheet metal shear and frame Jig just to name some of my tooling. Ive been I a bike enthusiast for around 15 yr, started my first build when I was 23 years young and the rest is history. I’m not a master mechanic, nor am I a master fabricator maybe above average and getting better everyday with the tools the means and creativity nothing cant be accomplished. I do it for the love of two wheels and the comradery of my fellow builders (and to possibly bust out on the scene and be able to quit my union day job)! I’m so happy to be a part of this event and to be in the same sentence with a lot of these builders like I said is a huge honor!
