Re: The OfFiCIaL Low Rider MB Thread
Would the 24" / 26" look out of place on one of these still bikes.

Drag,with the right frame, and tire -wheel combo it can look cool.
here's my Giant Stilletto chopper that i modified.
altho it doesn't have an engine, it's still a cool bike.
i put a 700 c front wheel on it with a skinny road bike tire.
the rear wheel is a 24" with a 3.25 X 24 " slick.
I also mounted an old muscle bike shifter on the frame, and I cut a slot in the fake gas tank for the shifter to come out of.
I made the shift knob out of a mini cue ball.
Paint on the tank and fender is aztec gold laquer / clear laquer.

Thanks man - not near as smooth as your deep6 that bike is sik \m/Fabulous looking bike lamb.
Nice. Looks like a big improvment over a stock cranny.Laid out cranny \m/ >.< \m/ - put new build on back burner and decided to do the cranbrook to the max.
if you have a welder, even a cheap harbor freight like i do, you can weld up a disk brake mount...The new forks were a huge change over factory forks. Ride is 100% softer. I donlike that I can't run a front brake for now but I'm looking into drum brakes and disk conversions. All in all I'm stoked
Noticed you missing cranks - how you start it (probably push start) and how do you take off from dead stop?if you have a welder, even a cheap harbor freight like i do, you can weld up a disk brake mount...
not the prettiest but she works.
also because this is the lowrider thread, heres a pic of my bike when i first built it.
rigid home made front forks, hard to ride at first but not too bad, i ended up commuting 30 miles round trip like this for a good couple weeks till my gf wanted to ride it. i told her not to go too fast till she felt it out but as soon as she turned the corner she went full throttle and lost control. she and the bike were a little tore up but nothing major, in the end i still decided to change up the fork setup.
Sure do. That's a great lowrider as a matter of fact. Tell us about it. That's one of the most exciting bikes I've seen in a long time.
I guess I better stop doing wheelies over dips. What happened?Holy shhhhhhhhhhh..... Was riding my bike around the neighborhood and my crown bolt on my bent springer snapped and the spring and bolt fell out. Lucky me though, I managed to sve it and not go down on my face. I've taken the springer off for now and put my factory forks back till I can find a grade 8 replacement bolt that I won't have to watch. Yikes. Scarry stuff.
