My little cousin wants a lowrider/chopper bicycle

My little cousin asked me if there are any links on how to build your own lowrider/chopper bicycle west coast style. I think my chopper has really rubbed off on him and he wants to learn how to build stuff.

I was wondering if any of you california guys knew any links that can help him learn? (he lives far away from me which sucks)

thanks

 

i've got a nice brand new ridded twice Aztlan classic lowrider i need to sell. metallic green and cool. either of you close to nc? i need to buy bobber parts for the new project so money would be good...ken....

 

my daughter asked for a "lowrider" or OCC bike for christmas,,of course i got her the lowrider bike,haha

wal-mart sells a "Bratz" bike that is pure lowrider bike except for the silly stickers for 120.00 bux. wouldnt take much to make it bitchin.

 

that's a good idea, Butt.


i'll look into that.

 

i've seen those at the Wal-Mart here. those are pretty cool minus the star stickers on them. my 20 year old sister wants one, haha. i agree, you won't have to put in a lot of work to make it a nice bike.

 

There was a add the classifieds with a HAMBER in Denton,Tx. that does it for $75 bucks. He said you can pick up a Schwinn cruiser at Walmart for $85 bucks and he would sretch it for $75 bucks if you send him the frame.
Maybe he would help.
Does anyone remember his name? The Classified was in Feb. I believe. Sorry I am not much help.

i'd take $135 for my aztlan. it's about a million times cooler than those bratz bikes and it has matching rectnular mirrors with green reflectors in them. i can't remember for sure but i think i gave right at 220 with shipping for this bike and rode it twice and got a new cruiser that i ride alot so the lowrider just sits in the way gathering dust...ken....

 

thats the one i have. it's a brighter green than the pic shows. kind of a grass green not the teal it looks. mine has metalflake vinyl seat and rectanle mirrors but that is the general pic. sorry no digital right now or i'd just shoot a pic since it's about 2 feet from me...ken....

 

I used to build them for fun when I was a kid. I've been thinking of doing one again. I still have a few bikes and parts.

You might be able to find some back issues of Lowrider Bicycle magazine. I haven't seen a new issue in years but I remember some cool tech stuff, like how to rake the neck, and do different style tanks. Maybe there are links somewhere to those articles off the main Lowrider website.

 

im preety sure there are all kindsa links on the lowrider mag sight. i think aztaln bikes has a message board too. I bought a bratz one at walmart on sale for like 79.99 kritz has one too that he painted and changed up. heres what mine looks like after the fun i had it taking off all the stupid stickers

 

thanks for all the help guys, i emailed him all your guys ideas and he's happy.
