The Burrito Revolution.....

[kenny p]

There has been a surge in the building of "Burrito" style Bikes over on CBN and I thought I would post a few of my Faves, maybe to inspire a few of you on your next project.

very cool!!! I'm sketchin up an idea right now!!

[Boneshaker]

Man, Honest Abe's bike will ALWAYS be the best burrito ever. Although the Poco Loco up at the top is really great as well. And Kenny, is that Kung Fuji in that tiny little pic at the bottom? That one should DEFINITELY be bigger!!!

I want somethin that LOW to ride.

[TheFlyingDingo]

Never heard of "burrito" but that is awesome

[VicXsaN]

I'm building a burrito... but the progress is slow because the weather is baaad here... and theres plastic flooring in the garage, don't know if it will like the welding :S

[Rat Rod]

Out of all of them Kenny....yours is still the coolest.

[JoeyMac]

I want one!!! I've gotta find someone who can weld.

[RatFink]

OK...someone has to ask. How does Burrito tie in to these mega low cruzers

(sweet bikes)

[kenny p]

I'm not really so sure myself.....I posted a poll on cbn http://www.chopperbicycle.net/forums/sh ... =KUNG+FUJI and it won.
I'm guessing low riders are mainly a mexicano style bicycle and these are low but not a typical "lowrider" so a Mexicano name was in order???? I dunno, I guess they kinda look like one too!!
WHO KNOWS!!!

[RatFink]

cool...just wondering



O.G. burrito circa 1977

These bikes look like a blast to ride, so I'm going to build one as well. Heres a photoshop rendering of what I'm going to build. Its about 8 feet long. I have a welder and a sawzall haha, wish me luck as this will be my first time building a frame. Did everyeone else use conduit for tubing? Is this the best way to run the chain with 2 seperate tensioners under the seat? keep in mind ive never done this and would like to do it right. I know the bars/stem look kind of weird in the picture. Might add a backrest if needed.

3 speed with suicide shift
26x2.125 tires
Custom "full" rear fender

If you pull that off it will be the coolest Burrito ever!!!
Most of the guys just used the rearend of a donor bike and make the front section. Conduit should work, I would use something a little stiffer to keep flex to a minimun since she'll be so low.
The pulley set-up would put the seat in an awesome position "super low" but it's a little tricky making sure it all lines up and works smoothly.
Go for it, if it doesn't work....so what, the seat comes up a few inches, no biggie.

I tried something really stupid once, it worked and was rideable, but it never was really "smooth" in the drivetrain department due to the pulley set-up.
I think I still hold the world's lowest seat height on a Burrito record though!
