A few days ago, Randy Venhuis got a talking-to from his mom after the paint he was spraying onto a part for a motorcycle he was building ended up on her car. It was the typical guffaw a 19-year-old messing with machines in his parents’ garage makes, but Venhuis is not your typical 19-year-old, and nor are his creations. The unsung wrench behind Edmonton’s now internationally known Federal Moto custom bike startup, Venhuis builds motorcycles out of his boyhood home’s garage in an Edmonton suburb, yet sells his café racer-style bikes across North America. His second build, a reinterpretation of a Norton Commando, known as “the Ace,” just sold for “something around $20,000” to a Federal Moto fan in Los Angeles, after Venhuis’s work was noticed on the highly influential website, BikeEXIF.com.
