The guy also has a 9 foot long low rider, two tall bikes, and last I saw was working on a low rider that ran on 18wheeler truck tread. He's hoping to have all the controls sit lower than the profile of the wheels.

Mad mechanic!

I dunno about what you have access to, but this dude was not running a super high end shop. He had some very basic tools, a welder, a love for bikes, and would generally spend his entire days riding or welding. Pretty much exactly the kinda person any bike community needs.

16" wheeled bike I'm making for my daughter. CNC'd lugs and rear end. Single sided swingarm with rear disc mounted onto a Hope 20mm front disc.
