This guy has some talent!

I have never seen anything like this. This guy built his own spokes, nipples, hubs, Rims, pedals, fenders, axle nuts, cast seats, grips, bars.... This quality of this thing is just unreal. Have a look!

He made the lowrider bolt together from the inside. You can't see any of it, but you can take the frame apart and put it back together in original form.

That is amazing. Do you have a link to more pictures especially the build process?

That is one Sick lowrider! It's truly excellent work!
The tubing reminds me of the older Monark Silver Kings.

That’s a beautiful reuse of the lugs from a girls’ Silverking. Great work indeed!

It used to be an old girls silver king. The crazy part to me is the way he assembled the bike. He milled out the lugs so he can slide the 1" tubing in. He can take it apart and bolt it back together in it's original configuration if he wants to.

Sorry, I saw the bike at a parade. I took these photos afterward. I have no build photos.

It sounded like this guy does special effects for movies and he has his own machine shop.

I'm not sure how it was done, but he slides the pedals out 1/2 inch to access the bolt portion. They just pop back in place.

I think the spokes thread into the hubs. The nipples have no flat sides. They have to be adjusted from the tube side of the rim.

He made the fenders from a rolled peice of aluminum tubing and cut them out.

He cast the seat pans.

I am still in awe. :shock:

bikes like this keep me humble

i like it though. the seat, pedal, handlebar ergos look good. that's my kind of cruiser.

I got confused for a minute because I thought all of the photos were of the same bike.

Very impressive stuff!

He has two silver kings. (at least two) He is leaving the boys frame alone. He did make a similar seat on it, so I can see where an initial confusion would be caused. He made the fenders and the rear axle nuts on the boys frame. I think he made the rims on that as well, but I'm not 100% sure. I had to throw those pics in as well. He aged it all to match the frame.

That first one looks like a really heavy person sat on it and squashed it! :lol: Excellent craftsmanship though. -Adam
