Hello everyone!
This is a special build for me, since i am rebuilding the very first cruiser bike i have got.
I am not so long in the scene but seems that long enough to go nuts about bikes and decide to connect my life with them
This is the reproduction of Dyno Coaster by Lowrider bikes, called Lowrider Limousine. I have bought it from The Chopperdome, Amsterdam, back in august 2013. That is how it looked back then:
That is how the bike looked in 2015, when i went by that bike from Amsterdam to Cambrai on north of France:
That is how the bike looked in 2016 when i left from Amsterdam to Poznan, Poland:
And that is how it looked this summer, before i have taken it apart:
It have been my daily rider since then, so it became quite dirty, rusty and was really asking for attention. I also wanted to change the color for a long time since i do not like black so much, there are so many black bikes around that i kind of need a good reason to make it black
So, this spring i got myself Electra Ghostrider, and while i am using that one as a daily rider i could make a renovation to this one.
Last month i have done powder coating to it, and have been gathering parts for this build starting from summer.
Here is the frame after the coating:
Got myself a nice BB-kit, beautiful wide cranks and sprocket with my logo made for me by Kahaki bikes
And then when i had to put a head-set i got quite surprised! I knew i am using 1' fork, so i got myself beautiful 1' headset with industrial bearings, but it just fell in my head tube! Only then i found out that those bikes use oversized 1', like 80s BMX had. Here in Europe it is literally impossible to buy a headset of that size, and delivery from US did not work out too. But then i found out that some people were converting their oldschool BMX from 1' to 1-1/8' by getting EC34 headset and turning it on a lathe to change the diameter from 34mm to 32,7mm (EC33). So, here we go:
Funny-wise, i have never thought when i bought that bike that at some point i would even have to customize headsets
Anyway, some passionate work with hammer and voila:
Now i would have to leave 1' triple tree fork i bought for it this summer in Netherlands aside. Luckily i have a shortened original Dyno Deuce fork that i will try to fit on that bike.
Many more fun things to come, i'll keep you all updated
