Brad “The Wrench” Ruel
Brad “The Wrench” Ruel was one of the most familiar and accomplished builders in the custom motorcycle industry.
He had succeeded in this endeavor through a relentless work ethic and a sincere drive to create, craft and construct custom motorcycles from frame to finished product. Brad was one of the most approachable builders in the world and always found the time to talk shop with his many fans. He truly appreciated the fact that people enjoyed his creations. His company the Wrench lives on with a wide line of frames.
Craig Chapman
Craig Chapman of THE WRENCH is a veteran builder with over 10 years experience and 50 builds under his belt. He has worked with OCC and Eddie Trotta on many projects. He originally joined THE WRENCH team in 2001 after Brad "The Wrench" Ruel recruited him to help take the shop to new heights. Brad died unexpectedly in July of 2009 and now Craig is fulfilling his vision. Craig’s latest build is Creed’s “Full Circle” Chopper.
