16" kiddo bikes

[bonez]

Did a search for 16" bikes but the search result was blank.

So, i need to see 16inchers, possibly with the little coaster wheels. Im startin a build soon, probably gonna do frame and most parts from scratch as the bike the customer gave me is ugly as funk!
Just need some inspiration, im goin classy classic route. No over the top lowrider style, but with some twisted parts and random cool accessories.
Whatcha got??

I did this with a 12" from the dumpster for my grandson. If this helps for ideas.
Springer front end leather seat parts from a $2.99 Goodwill bike.

Love the fork. I started building one with the same principle close to 10 years ago, then i lost all its parts while moving to a new house.
Could be an option even thou im goin a diffrent direction.
Thanx for the reply 8)

Bump again...

Just got a request to build a 16" lowrider for the 5 year old girl of some friends...

Would love to see any that have been done...

I guess no one builds them.
I always check the bike section on Layitlow, but im into the classier lowriders and it seems the majority there are tacky as fuk! Some cool ideas thou, even for tricycles, thats if you get past the laser cut eye pokeing forks and gangta murals
And im all about lowriders, i just wish it was 1972 again, when bikes looked like bikes and cars were meant to be driven, not to be put on a turntable....end rant lol

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Agreed! Build it to ride/drive!!!
