Yeah, Norm. What's with that tensioner on the top chain run? We want to know.

That's ok, thanks for the pic anyway. It's nice to be able to look at the frame, and seat post. That's OCC right?I've never been a fan of any one particular style, especially the over-bling of low-riders, but the one thing I do love is GOOOOOOOLLLLLLDDDDDD.
Unfortunately I've dismantled this bike and used the seat, wheel and brake on an old Schwinn cruiser, the headlamp on my Cranbrook, and the bars and hand controls are on my Suzuki. I may reassemble this again one day but not in the foreseeable future.
I can understand why some people might have some concerns about a spring loaded tensioner on the top side, but not having any problems in all this time should make anyone start resting easier. I've had to test some of my own creations too, and sometimes I worry about them, but after nothing happens for hundreds of miles I forget about it. I'm sure anyone that pointed that out to you, just didn't want you to get hurt.Look close and you'll see mine.
I made it out of a derailer, and it's spring loaded.
it;s been working great for 3 years but everyone that sees it says that it's wrong and it should be on the bottom of the chain.
I haven't had one problem with it on the top and it does it's job.
same idea as norms, but i don't see people telling him that it's wrong.
No matter how you slice it, that's a very interesting looking bike. thanks for posting it. I'd say it's very deserving of being called a lowrider, and a contender.Not a real low rider, but she is a pedal scrapper. I call this mechanical monstrosity my Rat-Bob
If you can actually ride that and the seat stay doesn't break(or the seat post), I think it's awesome.

Proper leg extension when pedaling and visibility. There's some good reasons to not be down so low.I never understood why any rider want's to be up in the air anyway. The lower the better.

That said, riding low is pretty cool lol
