You don’t get many opportunities to buy a one-off custom made famous by a TV Show like “Biker Build-Off”. This Panhead Digger style bike was built by Mondo Porras at Denver’s Choppers during season two, episode 5 of the series while competing against Indian Larry and his “Chain Of Mistery” chopper. (As matter of fact it was at the time this episode was shot that Larry DeSmedt died on August 30, 2004.) Mondo’s Digger bike has been featured in magazines, books and TV all over the world and is one of the most recognizable bikes ever built. It’s now for sale on eBay (3 days left!) with a starting bid at $20,000.

This kind would have sold very fast in 2004 at the time of the build off. But now?
Not the best beast on sale. Does not have that wow effect.
Did it win the build off? ..Z
Mondo Porras lost.
I think it is a neat, functional, custom bike. Has everything you need to go fast and stop fast, nothing else really matters.
Mid controls look a lot like WCC mids
the Chopper FAD is dead . I think 10 K would be a good price for this bike , then part it out .
Part it out is right on target!
There’s a Ass for every seat.
It appears that $20,000 will buy it ! Its been listed on ebay for 6 days and has not drawn the first bid.
Unaltered stock classics are where it’s at
I’ve looked over this bike at Mondo’s shop. It is exceptionally beautifully done with lots of not so obvious details and photos do not do it justice. It would be criminally stupid to part it out. Someone will get an awesome bargain when they buy it.
Denver’s are the pioneers of the Socal longbike.
Its a real digger, built for and who know it’s purpose; ride across the Western states deserts. It really needs nothing.
If you think it needs a refresh, take a peyote trip at Joshua Tree then consult with Mondo on what Denver would have done. Its palette is unlimited. Polished wheels, chrome, pearls and candies…..its palette is unlimited.
If not, stick to Pimp Glides and SOA Dynas. These bikes are not for everyone.
i don’t like “everything” about it, but at least it doesn’t have a 36″ front wheel and homosexual (not that there’s anything wrong with that) apes behind a fairing with LED light blinking in different colors !
I have pics somewhere with my boys posing on it with Mondo standing behind them from a 2010 raod trip with the family when we stopped in at Denver’s in Vegas to say hello.
It’s a well built bike and I wish Mondo the best at selling it.
Auction ended. Zero bid! Mondo taking a beating.
Not everybody’s cup of tea (anymore)
But Mondo is a legend
maybe I can pick it up for 5 K ?
It’s a great bike. Mondo did a great job. As for the naa sayers…get a life.
A little respect might be in order here.
a piece of Mondo’s art.
Built by a chopper and American culture icon.
Legendary legacy and style of Denver’s.
Immortalized in Biker Buil Off with Indian Larry.
Sounds priceless to me.
This bike should never be parted out.
