bike2112: That is one awesome transformation! It's low, mean, uncomfortable looking & radical enough to suit my taste!

Here is my Murray.It was a 5sp cruiser now 6sp kluncker.The steel chrome wheels were swapped for Saturae alloys from a specialized Rock Hopper.I used an old Sun Tour deraileur I had in the parts box.Some Duro grey wall tires that I'm going to swap out to Kenda Pathfinders.Old mt bike bars I painted.Levers from a bike I parted.I built this bike from stuff I had laying around the shop.It is really lo-buck.
