Build a lowrider in 2 eavnings

[slater]

Take one of these





Chop at 1 and shorten, Bend and maybe lengthen at 2 then increse bend on the forks and lengthen at 3. Then maybe bob the guards, shorten that cranks and maybe re-jig the little rack on the back



Night one

Remove forks and bend




Chop and lengthen



Thats more like it!



Night two

Forget to take pics, do as above and end up with this





Hell yeh!

Biggest rule of them all is don't listen to all the people telling you it wont work or it will be hard to ride because quite frankly they are talking balderdash!

[J.P]

I like the bikes coming out now.

I take it the bike cant go lower because of pedal/ ground clearance?

tigerskin seat ftw.

As with Seths bike, I love these bikes. You guys rock !!

I need to get a welder, then I want to collect some frames from the skip, and create a doubly articulated bike, with steering headstock in front of the seats downpipe, and on the front as regular.

After seeing the level of work on "that" metro, I am sure that once this is finish it will look awesome. What the plan for the colour scheme and accessories?

[akku]

Access to the bender is the biggest problem, unless you know someone.

Its finished

I think paint or more acessorys would just make it look worse. KISS

[Patina]

Ouch - take care.

I know someone that did that and trips to A+E were frequent and painful. It became known as the " danger bike ". ;D

lowrider??

[JDM motorsport]

thats just awesome jk i might have to have a go !!

[groblar]

coooool been meaning to do this with my old bmx frame for ages...

[beastieboy]

love this ! I'm presently doing this with an old kids bike that was dumped behine where I work years ago ! Could do with a pipe bender !!!

[Pie]

This is awesome. Would you not have to make a custom seat post though due to the riding position??

[slater]

tbh the riding position hasnt attulay changed, the only differance is the bike is lower to the ground and the cranks are a inch or 2 shorter.

Ready for the next project then Slater? I should be able to deliver my old bicycle sometime next week....
