Low Boy, My Newly Complete Bike

[wikedphil]

Well here is my creation I was inspired to build after roaming around on here for a couple of months. I wanted to make a bike that was as low as possible to the ground and looks like some sort of motorcycle mix sportbike type thing. I think it came out pretty good. And cheap too, I used parts of an OCC bike I got off craigslist and a frame i got from a really cool guy at a local bike shop. The wheels and tires are the only things I bought brand new about the bike, other than the frame. On to my bike "Low Boy"

Terrible pictures but what do you guys think, still not 100% I am trying to find a nice leather springer type seat and leather handle grips and also sort a different brake setup.

Bike looks NICE...I like that frame what kind (brand) is it?

great build love the wheels

I am not sure what sort it is. If you go to site like lovelylowrider, its the limo frame if i remember correctly. This one costs around 75 bucks.

thats a great price man

how does it ride?

Well, seeing as how I am 6'3" it is a tad bit small for the legroom. I was told by an older man that the tire loked like it was coming out of my butt...haha. I think with a larger leather seat with the spring type thing it would be more comfortable. When I someday have a few extra bucks I will switch out the seat, and get matching leather grips.

i like that handbrake

 

[Stubecontinued]

My buddy has a similar brake set up on his fixed gear so he can bar spin and stay street legal

yea, I was going to make the handle a little bit different using a beer tap...but I have yet to find a beer tap. I have an rc truck im working on now, so I put the bike down for a bit and will do a little more over the winter. I also need to paint the GF's bike over again, paint didnt stick well. Thanks for all the great comments. I will keep this post updated with any changes. I also want to paint the frame flat black and get some lettering on it for the name. Should be cool.
