With so many customized Star Wars products, it's a little surprising to see how long it's taken to see something like the Phat Stormtrooper pop up on the radar.
Max Denisov, aka Dee-Troy, from Moscow’s Rastabike BC has designed a bicycle that will get every fanboy and fangirl of Star Wars jumping with joy. The Phat Stormtrooper takes the form of a lean, mean street cruiser decked out in the theme of the Imperial soldiers. The entire bike has a black-and-white theme and includes several minor details that fans will appreciate. Look closely at the wheels and you'll even see a wanted image of Yoda. Denisov has also manged to incorporate a Stormtrooper head as the stopper on the tire valve. Biking down the street has never looked so badass and geeky.
