not sure if it would interest you guys, but ive always wanted to build a lowrider bike... So finally i got started welding, cutting.. whatever... Not doing any of it before so its all new to me.. but i just thought id show you guys my progress....
This is the second day of lowrider build...
here is the scrap pile that we had, from about 4 bikes that we cut apart to use for different pieces we needed...

A little late to take pictures i know, but here is where the welds were made to put the 2 pieces together.. After the pipes we shaped to make the frame

Had to make the handle bars, so that we had a style like i had wanted. so i cut and smoothed out some bmx bars

bent the forks so i could get the bike lower to the ground.. note these are mountain bike forks, That why they are so long....
