occ chopper bicycle with a twist - 20" stretched, slammed and generally reorganized

i wanted to rework my occ, which i picked up as a basket case and put in working order.

these bikes are tiny! se the pic of me to see how ridiculous i look on this teensy kid's bike

so, in order to look ridiculous in stretched out comfort, i am making some changes...

i wanted to keep the occ-ness, but also lower the seat (a lot), stretch it to fit a "grown up", and lower the bottom tube to scrape the ground - the occ design is odd to me with its high bottom tube, not very chopper-y IMO

it's not quite done done, but but after i extend the forks and mount the motor (y'know, most o the work) it will be

I take it "slammed" is to mean "lowered"? Never understood why people say slammed when they mean something totally different. When I hear someone refer to a bike as slammed, I picture it being slammed into a wall or something.

 

[nishikidrift]

it refers to using hydraulics/lowriders when you drop the body fast and is slams in to the ground.

 

[butterbean]

Well since this bicycle doesn't have hydraulics....

 

[butre]

it's a misappropriated term from the lowrider community. now that lowriders aren't much of a thing anymore it's mostly hellaflush types (ie. kids with honda civics) that use the term.

 

[nishikidrift]

...wrong...slammed is getting the car ridiculously low to the ground like the term states "cigarette butt high" now, hella flush is about the rim of the wheel,not tire, lining up with the wheel well and there are pneumatic hydraulics for bikes well, here you go... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOycTe8Mct0 now this as a MB would be killer.
