Land Shark
Vintage Land Shark custom made by John Slawta, in 2000. I am the original owner, and this is one of the many Land Sharks I have owned over the years previously. I met John when working with Levis Raliegh Racing Team when we were looking for a fame builder for one of our riders. I also sold a lot of his bikes in my shop in San Diego in the eighties. I love all of John’s paint jobs and he is an amazing frame builder and so creative in his approach to building and painting bikes. Love his work.
This bike has been ridden on and off over the last 24 years, but not more than 3-4 thousand miles on it. I need to make room in my garage and do not want to leave my wife with the responsibility of getting rid of all my bike when I am too old to sell them. Again, I love the bike, and the paint job is amazing and one of kind. I will miss it, but it is time to have a new loving home for someone to enjoy as much as I have.
