Hell yeah man, my bike build is coming together too, now just the last little things and she's finished, I'm building another one too that's gonna be a black and gold build
I'm converting a schwinn meridian 24" trike into a low rider. Most parts are double flat twisted. Having difficulty figuring out how to convert the European bottom bracket from a 2pc crank to a 1 pc crank. Might have to trim the crank arms and tap and die for 1/2" twisted pedals. Do you have any suggestions by chance with the crank setup?
I'm a old lassie guy I like lowrider bikes I had several but been sold some of the bikes stolen I hate those things most of the time but I quit getting them the last one I sale it cause I need it money but I don't know why people can't see that I seat of stealing its better ask before u get your butt kick im been honest cause I work in the sun everyday to have something to my self n my family i love lowrider bikes im an old school since I was 12 years old
Still working on my 20" sprayed the inside of my mudguards and removed some paint from a rim that had been painted. Recorded it but unsure whether to upload the quality is a bit crappy. Hopefully the bike will be back in one piece for next weekend to take it for a ride.
@@jdkmedia3777 still in pieces at the moments had so many problems with parts and the guy that does my powdercoating. Had a chance to do some research tho and I've found the main supplier of twisted parts in Taiwan and bike manufacturer in China so might be opening a little business soon selling this stuff in the uk. Only trouble is I'm yet to find the manufacturer of the wheels and fenders. It's a absolute joke how much the Americans mark the prices up, can buy a full bike for £100 from the supplier. Anyway once I'm a bit more organised will upload some stuff.
I tried and extended crown on regular forks and that didn't really work out. What type of forks are those exactly? I'd love to ride with my extended crown on
Hey Trent, sorry for the slow reply. It can be a bit tricky. These are a little bit of a different set up than the regular forks and have a tiny bit less angle that the usual big bend springer forks. You can tell the difference because there are less twists in these supports - I am not sure you can get this style any more though. Things to check: The support arms are the right way around, if not the twists will hit. Also putting the support arms inside the bend arms gives you a little bit more room to play with. Hit me up on instagram if you need more help man and I can talk you through it.
@@jdkmedia3777 hey man life gets busy I it's all good. And yes I counted the twist I knew right away you had something special going on, but that's why u do what you do. Dope for replying 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 keep making videos

Sounds good homie, yeah I think some final touches will set it off. I want to keep the cost low on this one. Let me know how your project goes!
I have been working on a 26 inch frame thinking about using springer forks 😉

Painting the inside of the fenders is a boss move, I have done in on one of my show bikes. Came out great! Keen to see your new ride man.
