I had a lot of money to burn when I built this. The frame is actually from my mother's first bike when she was 8. I bought the vast majority of the parts from lovelylowrider.com, which was a good resource for such things in 2001ish. Other parts such as the wheels and seat were acquired locally. This is by far one of the more subtle lowriders I've seen. I wanted sort of a classic look, only slightly stupider.
