Custom lowrider bicycles have started their long way in the good old days of vintage bicycles. They are all about style and creativity: the bicycle embodies the soul of the rider, and every element of the design is important, everything from the handlebars to the wheels. Here are some tips to pimp your ride.

Keep in mind that virtually every part of the low-rider bicycle can be enhanced, and at the end of the day, it depends on the rider’s preferences. If you are going for an original look, then you need to use finely polished chrome and steel to create something truly breathtaking.

What you need to make it into the classics

• High handlebars
• Small wheels
• White wall tires

Remember, that the frame is the most important feature, so all the additional parts must look well with the rest of the bike.

Your custom low-rider signature and wheels

A signature part for custom lowrider bicycles could set it apart from the rest.

The part does not necessarily have to be something expensive, but it should be appropriate by a symbol of your unique style. This is entirely up to you, and while some people use embellished fenders or bright lights, you can design your own thing.

Do not forget the wheels, which are also very important when it comes to street style. The more spokes, the better; just make sure they are cleaned and polished well. Custom rims are perfect but keep an eye on your budget. Also, remember that the wheels should go well with the rest of the frame.

The paint job: slap some color on the beast
