Lowrider bike restore project

Here is my Lowrider bike restore project video!
When you have two young kids, you have to find time where you can BUT, its done! This Lowrider bike was a restore project long in the making. I had originally made the bike over 25 years ago. after a garage fire, I knew it was time for me to bring it back to life!
I wish I could have kept most of the parts but there was just too much damage. Some of the replacement parts I'll put below. The bike rides just fine but, I'm going to keep it more for show!
Thanks for watching!

[@omg4589]

That looks so good man 🤘🏼🔥 Can’t wait to finish my bike

[@UriasMedia]

Thank you! It brought back memories for me, it was a cool project.

[@emil_black]

Nice frame, rare pedals! But why black?! In chrome it will be a lot of cooler!

[@UriasMedia]

The chrome parts I had were in bad shape. I’ll make another one with my son 👍🏽

[@dyslo1877]

Still classy tho just think of it as a tuxedo lowrider simple and classy 😂

[@Elhamburitto]

Stfu it's his bike he can do whatever he wants with it

[@chevy8588]

You did a bad ass job bro,Love it 👍

[@codyhuggins2287]

[@UriasMedia]

Thank you! I've been thinking about doing another one, we'll see, thanks for the like and comment!

[@renzrex154]

Love it good job

[@UriasMedia]

Thank you!

[@ericosborne5485]

Nice, I just picked mine up that had been in my parents garage for over a decade from when I built it as a kid. Redid all the custom body/frame work. New flake paint, polished all the chrome and ordered a few new parts. Just got it back together tonight.

[@UriasMedia]

Eric Osborne That’s awesome! It brought back memories for me.

[@cuttyray6044]

I mean ok but it looks like you just painted the burnt shit look good though

[@UriasMedia]

I sure did! :)

[@JesusDiaz-ev4lg]

What’s the paint you used?????

[@UriasMedia]

Rustoleum High Gloss paint for the rims, fenders, handle bars, and pedals. a Flat Black for the rest of the bike. - amzn.to/2KgAYOb

Whats the second song?

[@UriasMedia]

I got the music out of KZbin Studio believe it or not. I need to look it up, I’ll send you the links when I find them.

[@UriasMedia]

Just for you! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYWqYZ5jrqyIhpo

[@charliethekruk4566]

That’s looks dope man. I’ve been wanting to a lowrider bike since I was little but they cost a lot

[@javierurias3888]

It took me awhile when I was a kid to buy everything. Little by little, worked to buy every part! That was the fun part

[@jamisongobby2036]

I have one in Australia

[@dannyd7779]

I got one at a garage sale for 60 is dollars and the tires were in great condition and they were white walls 👀

[@Pursnikity_20022]

I’m building my first one. Best advice. Get a beater cruiser and let your mind go from there. Granted, your looking at least 1K. But worth it in the end!

[@Invading-Specious]

yes, like gratis... Thank you Ritchy!

[@Pursnikity_20022]

What was the size of your forks?

[@UriasMedia]

20 inch forks

[@DadOGofGirls]

I have a bike I'm going to restore where you get your parts? The Dad OG is curious?

[@UriasMedia]

Dad OG / of Girls amazon believe it or not. This was one part I found but you can find pretty much whatever in amazon www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078S1WLMT/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&psc=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=jurias-20&linkId=de88ff42b33d231e1a902a84764f3b3e&language=en_US

[@joeygirovasi6329]

Man i love the resored results, i have a old cruiser bike that i want to turn into a lowrider and was thinking black and white as well. I've got a question, the frame i have is a 26 could i put 20in or 16in wheels on it? Would that work?

[@UriasMedia]

good question, I have 20's on mine. If you take the spring off the bent forks you might not be able to put anything smaller then 20's, 16's might be too small for the frame espcilly if you are gonna ride it. the crank is gonna hit the ground. IMO

[@joeygirovasi6329]

Thank you. This will be my first lowrider build so I appreciate the advice

[@jordanwicinski2141]

Very nice build brother, I myself was just looking at my old low buck lowrider bike in my garage and now that my spawn have learned to ride bikes I just introduced them to lowrider bikes, so now I have three to build 😁

[@yourlocaldoomer]

Good job but I wish you kept all that chrome. You could've polished it up great.

[@chicanoguzman6651]

Chida tu rafla ese

[@mikepharter1210]

No primer, no clear coat? 🤔 Wont the paint chip faster without the two? Still nice bike.

[@UriasMedia]

I used the primer and paint in one. I added a clear coat to the frame too. 👍🏽 thanks for the compliment!

[@unknowkkn]

what are the screws that hold the tire called? i am missing one but i don’t know what’s it called

Manny Fresh that’s what I’m saying, I’ve never seen a bike with all white tires! Thank you 🙏🏽

[@lilbit5829]

If you call spray painting everything black modernizing stuff I don't know what to say for the new generation because that's all you see black cars blacked out everything me personally that just means nobody has a personality anymore everything is the same just black this black that that's called being lazy not using your imagination come on people you got to ask some color to this stuff I had some Chrome make it look alive because all this blacked out stuff it's just lazy it's boring it's cheap and it's ugly

[@UriasMedia]

Thanks for the comment! I’ve had it green, blue, before with chrome but this one I wanted to do something I’ve never seen before. I’ve never had a completely blacked out lowrider bike with solid white tires and white chain. But hey, Thanks for calling all the hours I put into this project lazy. Sanding shit down, cleaning rust off of all the parts, trying to restore something that was in a fire, buying new parts for it, filming and editing the video, if all that is lazy, I guess I’m lazy then. Again, thanks for the comment. ✌🏽

[@lilbit5829]

@@UriasMedia no disrespect bro I'm just saying like whatever happened to the welded tanks the loud colors you know like candy paint something that makes your bike stand out I'm sorry if you feel like I was trying to call you out on being lazy but think about it everything you see now is blacked out and I apologize if I'm wrong but let's stay original with these lowriders you can't just take lowriders out of their comfort zone and we're in a class of our own that that new generation do that lazy blacked out crap I know it was a lot of work in the sanding and I know that it came from being in a burnt house and I commend you on bringing it back to life but when we bring things back to life you know really bring it back to life bring that air in it mean breathing some color into that thing much respect to you brother you have a blessed day

[@UriasMedia]

@@lilbit5829 I respect what you're saying, it's all good. I like black and that was the look I wanted to try. I've done other colors in the past, this one was just the color I wanted this time. I can promise you this, it won't be my last bike, that's for sure. My next will be with my sons! I want their personality to come out on the next one. They will pick the color and I don't know, I might even help throw some Bondo work on it! 🤣 But hey seriously, thanks for checking out the video! Peace be with you my brother ✌🏽

[@Pursnikity_20022]

What’s the frame size?

[@AZTECAN702]

Nice

[@WickedattractionsC.C]

Looks dope asf glad to see it back alive and living on strong bro 💯

[@UriasMedia]

Thank you! I can't wait for my next build!

[@drevenaguilar8598]

How did you do the rims did you just paint them?

[@UriasMedia]

First I sanded as much of the rust off as I could, then wash off any remaining dirt or grim. Let it dry over night with a fan on them and then use a high gloss black, primer and paint in one, for metal paint.

[@ronaldvega2773]

Hey man I love your content so much that it inspired me to make one like yours! After a few weeks I finished it and I would love to show you the pics tru insta! Thanks again love your shit man!

[@UriasMedia]

@@ronaldvega2773 hey I saw the bike! Looks good man. And that’s pretty awesome to hear the video got you interested in your own project. 👍🏽 With Lowriders, it’s up to you how crazy you want to get with them. As I’m sure you probably found out, parts can get expensive, your time and effort putting it together… it’s all up to you how you get down on the bike. Enjoy the process, get creative, experiment with different ideas, color combinations, paint job styles, accessories for the bike and have fun! 😎

[@ronaldvega2773]

@@UriasMedia thanks man like I said i am 13 and my brother 14 and we have studied the low rider and that’s how we start to build them, my brother saw your video and he said “we have to make this bike”. I am the manger of our company and it cost us almost 100 dollars to make the bike.. I know right??? So cheap (because we had extra parts to build it). Usually I spend 300-400 on low riders, but once again thanks so much and have a great day!

[@UriasMedia]

@@ronaldvega2773 that’s awesome to hear! Have fun fellas, enjoy your next build.

You mean, like how tall are they? About 12 inches

[@elrorritolopez5799]

I got one since I was 4 yrs old man

This one I bought piece by piece when I was 12-13 years old, working little jobs all summer. I’m 40 now, it’s still rollin!

Like!

[@gliss__ando]

you inspired me to build my own

[@UriasMedia]

Do it! 😎

[@karinakannon]

Hey! About how long did it take you to finish your project?

[@UriasMedia]

This project took a couple of weekends. I have kids and had to sand, paint, in between naps and at night and stuff. Hours... I would say 4 hours sanding by hand. Steel wool on the rust 2 hours. Paint maybe three hours all the parts. Assembly two-three hours. After I painted I let everything dry over night. Great question, I had to think about that for a sec!

[@karinakannon]

@@UriasMedia hey thanks man! And yeah I was just wondering, I just got a bike recently and looking to turn it into a project soon. I figured it would take some time in between working and life in general lol. Preciate it!

[@UriasMedia]

@@UriasMedia thank you it is on my channel but I still need to get better at doing the videos

[@jeffreyhernandez5868]

What kind of paint did you use to paint the chrome

[@UriasMedia]

I used Rust-Oleum Automotive Enamel Spray Paint, Gloss Black. The reason I used the gloss black was that I wanted the highest shine possible you get with gloss. On the frame, I used a matte black finish to make the gloss stand out a little more on the glossy parts. Here is the link from Amazon, but you can go straight to home depot and they will have it there. amzn.to/2TFhqV4

[@jeffreyhernandez5868]

Did you use the same black paint (rust-oleum automotive enamel spray paint) for the rims

[@denisedorame3419]

I love lowriderbuke

[@UriasMedia]

Thank you!

[@dampedlife1160]

Is that a 3 piece crank?

[@UriasMedia]

No, it’s one piece. Short arms like 5 and a half inches. Schwinn has a fat enough crank cup that you can fit a one piece in there easily.

[@martinsalazar9042]
