- 3BC, Ph. 7100/8400
- Base bike: Honda CB250 1984 (40 yr old bike)
- Builds: Scrambler
-This bike is part of my personal collection and is for sale and open for swap as well. Not in a rush though. Would rather have someone enjoy it rather than having it gather more dust in the garage. Bike is running and is good condition for its age, and has complete papers under my name.
-RFS too many bikes, too little ride time.
-About a year ago while bringing some bike builds over to surigao for siargao friends, i got wind of a cb250 for sale, a friend was selling it, when i got the bike it was already customized (brat styling), and it was left sitting for a few years as owner has also relocated. Bought the bike and redid almost everything on it, nothing was left untouched from the original build. This build was inspired by heiwa motorcycles of japan. One of the custom shops we look up to in the industry.

- Base bike: Honda Z50 monkey
- Build: Monkey Mini Utility Bike Concept
- Build was done for a client and along time Fan of the page, followed us back in 2015ish i think. Just exchanged msges, inquired about builds and pricing, then met him personally during the 2022 makina motobuild off. Gave me his business card (which i wont discuss but he is high ranking officer), i have him my number aswell. Asked me if i was still building bikes (which at that time i stopped when pandemic hit and i had to relocate), told him my situation, said this time was a one off and i hung up my gloves already. Few month later though He called me up and asked if i was interested in building a bike, told him i was semi retired (made bikes for myself and few selected friends that time) and told him i can recommend some builders where he was located. Said it had to me or he'll just keep it as is, it struck a chord, i was honored, needless to say i said yes. The bike was a monkey i was hesitant when he said what the bike was, but when he sent me pics i said ok as bike was already a frankenbike (diff parts). Client wanted to have a bike he can hang on the wall to add to his collection.

- Base bike: Yamana 1999-2000 dt125 millenium
- Build: restoration
- Back when i was in high school, i always wanted to have one. I remember back in the day these were more expensive than xr200 when it came out. This model if i'm not mistaken was the last of the dt125s sold in the ph market, i think it was the only dt125 that came with factory stock discbrakes. Few years have past and i've encounted a few dt125s but it wasnt to my liking they were mistreated, or used in trails or motocross and most didnt have complete papers. When i relocated here in dipolog without even looking for one, i came across this beauty. It was fairly complete about 85% of the parts was there, and it wasnt used on trails, or motocross or even modded, it had complete papers, the owner was an old gentleman and was the 1st owner as well, he took good care of the bike, it was his daily ride to work, it was almost all stock with few missing parts, but it did have some small problems but it was an easy fix. Almost everything that needed fixing or replacing were fixed and replaced with old stock parts if available if not then were replaced with quality ones on the market. Everything works on the bike, all lights, horn, electricals, 2t pump, speedometer and rpm guage as well. Willing to sell this but i'm not in a rush, also accepting swap to other bikes. Its time for others to enjoy it rather than having it gathering dust in the garage, got too many bikes in the collection and less ride time at the moment. Drop us a DM :)

- Base bike: Yamana XSR 155
- Builds: Concept Bike
- This build was done around 2022 for the annual MAKINA Motoshow (build off part was sponsored by yamaha) it's a national invitational bike event, a build off for builders around the philippines. The chosen builders from luzon, visayas and mindanao (3bc.ph) were given a base bike to customize for 30 days (less days for us since we needed to ship the bike from mindanao) then we bring it to the event to showcase our build. This was the 2nd time we joined. 1st one was back in 2017 when we made the hubless bobber which left the the audience and fellow builders in awe. Not just for the overall concept but on how it was exceuted especially with the time constraints. This time was no different, lots of gaping mouth and confused faces (just the reaction we wanted to evoke) we needed to explain the design and the ex*****on where we put the gas tank. :) some thought it was an ebike. The bike won the 2022 overall build off champion, which fueled the embers for us coming back from hiatus.

- Base bike: Honda XR150
- Build: XR150 Mini Adventure Bike Concept
- Build was done for a client in here in dipolog. He just got into riding clutch and wanted to dip his feet in adventure riding. We were faced with a dilemma though as most local adventure bikes are quite tall and are also heavy for our beginner rider. He is about 5 feet 1 inch in height. We decided to get a small displacement dual sport bike, with good engine, good suspension and must be light weight. We went with a honda xr150 as the base bike, client preference.

- Base bike: 2011 Yamaha FZ16 v2
- Build: Street Tracker
- One of my personal daily driven bikes. There's a story about the base bike. This was the 2nd bike i owned back in 2011, this bike opened my eyes to what can be done by modifying though fabricating your own parts to make your bike unique. It was sold off on 2014 to help fund my passion project to what is now 3B Customs, PH. Sold the bike to a friend, then he gave the bike to his younger brother, to which was sold off to his officemate, the officemate again resold it. A friend tipped me off that my bike was sold to a buy and seller. Contacted the guy and luckily for me it was a friend. :) bought back the bike from him and to my surprise it was still in my freakin name, they didnt bother to register it to their name. 🤦‍♂️ who would have though the bike would return to me after a decade apart, after it helped me fund my passion it came back.

Originally planned to just restore the bike back to stock. Plans change though, as while i was disassembling the bike it had a few unwanted surprises, lots of parts were broken mostly the plastic parts, and some of them are no longer sold in the market the nail on the coffin was the original v2 fz decals are no longer available as well. :( decided to chop the bike and customize instead to what it is now. FZ16 Street Tracker. :)

- Base bike: Honda Zoomer X

- Bike was part of my personal collection, only had around 1k+ original kms on it. Decided to sell it off to thin out my bike collection. There will be more bikes to be sold off so watch out for that. Made custom detachable surf racks for it as buyer was from the island. Made a headlight cowl, headlight and tail light grill and under seat storage grill as well.
