Lowrider Bikes

Do you own one? Have any advice for someone thinking about getting one? I have a roof rack, but never use it. I'd like to pick up a lowrider to take with me to shows and to cruise the hood.

well what type of lowrider do you want?

Maybe a picture example of one would help us better?

do you mean something like this??

wow. Thats amazing. I was looking at this one:

I don't want to do the gold / chrome thing. I also don't want to spend more than $200. I would most likely paint the body to match my car.

Uh....wow. Where to begin.

hahah yea i see tim's point.. I'd say if you want a really slick setup, build your own! atomiczombie.com has some great bike building books.

If you're serious about it i'd say a custom might be your best bet... if you're a good scavenger you really wouldn't have to pay for much

Thanks for the help. Any other input / opinions?

Well whatever you decide to do...if you can atleast try to build most of it,if not all of the bike yourself.

def build it yourself. i grew up in texas when i was younger so i pieced one together when i was 12. I got a bunch of old schwin bike parts from a junkyard actually see as I was a poor kid but the bike resembled the craigslist bike up above. I loved it.

yea i just love the customizability (sp?) of building your own.

plus then its unique, no one else has one like it

i have a trike rear end and a spring front fork if you want it its yours for 150 total. all you need is a couple nits and bolts. it comes with a 180 chrome spoke wheel and tire for the trike.

haha, a bike with mufflers. Really?

haha

any one interested in the 2 parts i have pm me

WTF! Never mind...I see what you were talking about in that link.

Yeah, those would go first thing. Unless of course I rigged them up to shoot flames.
