Dutch lowrider to be

[Easy Skywalker]

Yeah Kev, there's still a lot of work to be done on it, but it's so cool to ride it already!
I hardly see any customs around here, Rickster. There are a few (organised as SWAT, check their pics:http://www.swathengelo.nl/) in the next town.
But other then that.... That's why I'd love to go to Amsterdam at the end of the month, supposed to be a huge cruise!
Thanks for the nice compliments, guys!

Cool site..

 

[Easy Skywalker]

I had to strech my legs riding the bike a bit too much, so I welded a custom seat-pen. Had my buddy Erik fix the horn I want to use.
Then I hired two guys to do the paintjob....

And with a little help they did fine

Easy, the bike looks great. Nice clean frame design.

Maybe you can get a shot of you sitting on it sometime to see how it looks when you are riding it. I'm trying to imagine my back being able to handle a ride on it but maybe you don't have to lean over too far.

Steve, did you catch the Rat Rod Bikes shirt in Easy's picture!

 

[Easy Skywalker]

Thanks RatRodDad! I didn't quite know what to expect, but I think it's a pretty comfortable bike to ride. I just put the crank a bit too much forward, so I made a seatpost with an angle, so I'm sitting just in front of the seat-tube.
I don't have to bend my back more then on my cruiser. I'll try to get a pic as soon as it's back together again

Something about seeing the shirts show up in photos across the big pond is just way too cool. :wink:

Love the bike!

 

[ricksterr1221]

Awesome dude.

 

[Easy Skywalker]

Hehe! I always see people checking out the shirt! (Or they're staring at my pecs :lol: )

The bike is sort of done, it had to be, cause I wanted to ride it in Amsterdam, The Choppernation VI party-cruise...
And so I did!

Thanks Steve! Feel free to use any pic from my photostream.
I really like this pic, it's forum-member Karl from Amsterdam's bike and mine. We were getting some open-air food and beer, haha!

[Firewalker]

that bike turned out great! :shock: I love the paint job!

 

[Markm]

very cool!!! I may have to "borrow" your idea!!! in the pics of the painting, I noticed your fenders and seat post are blue.....what happened?
Looks Great!!!

 

[Clothespin n]

way to go Easy...
You Built a Beautiful Bike!

Kev.

 

[Easy Skywalker]

Thanks guys!!!
Mark, the blue was just for the two small pinstripes on the fenders.
I had the frame primered by my boys. After that I used Kev's antiquing-method (kiddy-paint), white, then orange, and rubbed it off with a brillo-pad. Couldn't find a flat clearcoat, but came across some weird stuff which not only is flat and hard like a rock, it also makes a kind of structure...

I didn't use the wheels I intended, cause I didn't like the idea of having a derailer. Took the wheels out of our blue 'EasyBike'-cruiser...

thats a very cool build I love how you documented it
