Hi
I posted on my "introduction post" that I love beachcruisers, and have already built one, besides my first built bike (a lowrider). Some of the members then asked me to post pictures of these bikes, so here they go.
I only have a final shot of the lowrider (begginers mistake):

I built this lowrider from a tandem a friend of mine gave me. It was almost destroyed after his parents had an accident with it. It has some structural errors as to what a tipical lowrider is concerned, but since it was the first bike I made, I love it. It rides very smoothly and it is really confortable.

The second bike I built was this beachcruiser. I made it from scratch and did everything except bending the tubes. Here goes the sequency (aproximately 3 months of work):

I have three other bikes, but my favorite is a 1947 raleigh dawn tourist.
Soon I'll start working on a streched cruiser, when I can find another coaster brake. I also have a 1970's chopper, whith 3 speed Strurmey-Archer rear hub, with a really cool clutch like speed selector that deserves to be chopped and droped!
Lots of ideas, but no time!
thanks
