when is it to low?

[tilted]

this is the first bike i built.a low rider should sit low right?you have to keep the cranks level when you turn or the pedals hit the ground,but you get used to it.anybody else have anything low?lets check em' out.

that thing looks awesome. nice color choice the green and black is classic. the straight bars add to the whole look

my bikes not that low, but maybe you can find some shorter cranks arms, just in case for that one time you turn and dont keep your cranks level

[toolow]

do u have any more pics would like to see the way your spring is mounted

Get some "low rider" cranks. Thats what I used on my 55 straight bar... they're real short.

Very nice.......... this is my first and I wanted low setting, but didn't want a pedal dragger. I'm in the process of working on the engine mount now.

I'll be putting a different seat on it too, as I just put that one on to see how it rides....... rides great, but feels a bit funny when turning.

I also bought a 26 tooth sprocket and the adapter for mounting it to the hub from Manic Mechanic and wow........ great stuff. I'll have it together and ready to ride soon.

Looks awesome ! Mr. UPS man dropped off my little bundle of chinesse cc and ive got some beater cruisers that i have been on the fence about taking to get sand blasted so i can paint ( i have enough room to paint, but i dont have a media station )

And i was just about to make a thread asking : Where do you find a frame (exactly like the one you have) ? Closest i've found is :





I'm shooting for a mexicano lowrider - but with a german theme :rofl: I live in so cal, so the contrast would be quite hilarious (not making fun of culture, just would be a bavarian themed lowrider - ultra juxaposition)

long story short - that bike is tits man - where did you get the frame

[SUNNYLAND SLIM]

Cool bike. Make a longer bracket for the spring so you get the suspension part back. Put some BMX cranks on there. 12 bucks and 2.5" shorter. That's what I did.
