One tip in regards to the head tube, weld the head tube inside a piece of slightly shorter square tube which will leave just enough of the head tube out each end to cap the square tube around the head tube.
"Diagonal Set" is the term for what your calling diamond. I built industrial deep friers and processing conveyors for Frito Lay and Schwan's and all the framing was square tube stainless. Tiggy Wiggy!
Syk frame ! Im 53 & rode bikes now longer then vehicles as every day rider 6'2" 200+ tired of crap bikes at local Walmart that forces you to either ride like you fixing to race or take a loan and buy bars ,seats etc. Lower back cant take it no more and new bikes last roughly 3-5 years outside in Louisiana taking in/ out the house lasts a month last 2 as im being clogged up with junk from other members that are doing to make it impossible. But i bought this used beach cruiser at local flea market for 80$ that i spotted out of 100 bikes withing 1 minute eye scanning this sweet gem keeps giving up more questions then i realized at 1st glance. The guy spray painted over spots ( poorly and unmatched) that made me get closer on head leaning looks that i found original decals he painted that read in old-school script, " Ridin' Dirty " " Maui built " With square symbol of company a turtle 🐢 At 1st i thought it was someone local AND went to school with also grew up around but i research the name and found the company but couldn't find any bikes persay that was it or anything like this bike on Internet they had bikes made in Maui Maui made bikes but no Maui built company logo bikes! The bike has fins kike 57 Chevy with taillight ( rubber) also guy painted over .... Would you know of anything to help me on origin ? Im fixing to cut it up weld down bar and move crank forward and buy forks seat etc lowrider with painting it soon soon any help be great i just uploaded a 2 minute short yesterday in my channel for reference thanks you ahead in advance! 🙏🏼
That's sounds awesome man! Enjoy the build process! I have no clue where it would have come from. I'm not really a "bike guy", this is just the medium I choose for my art.
No way to get around having to buy tubing & I'm guessing it's all sorts of different attributes like thickness, grades of hardness, & other characteristics that I don't know about BUT I'm learning here! Losing material to the bending process probably adds up on you quick... lol, like everything you need good yield to make money. Now I'm curious so I'll be looking into "Tubing" & I got this funny idea it's be like "Research"? I know I'm gonna see more types of metals/tubing/shapes & all the grades too ! So I'll be at that before I ask you anymore metal questions.... heck, I had to start somewhere & the frame is a good spot. And you got the square tube bender/dies.... I didn't know any such thing existed? I was wanting an ebike but for the prices I couldn't find any that met my wants/needs? So for the last 8-10 months I've been semi-stuck just thinking about what I'd like but now that I came by this channel I'm seeing that I can literally design the bike I want, from the frame up. I'm stoked. Great video. gotta run but I'll be back to watch this again
I'm not looking to get into buying the stuff to build but I am learning what you're using & the process involved which everytime you bend a straight piece I think more/more about what I want in a Bike Design. I'm wanting a bike that can run in bad times(no money or gas) and for a SHTF type scenario. My thoughts of a design is one that can be loaded down w/ supplies. Like having racks to throw stuff on & I'm so early into this that I've got many pro's/con's to juggle around but that's why I'm interested. You just happened to be doing stuff that let's me know what is involved. And I did not know the square tubing could be bent. Even where this tubing is bent it has flat sides that you can attach things easier than round tubes. I'm way ahead of myself & know nothing, Back to school here...... But I digg it. peace
Do those V rollers work on the other Kaka tube roller too? I'm lookimg at buying a roller next, but not interested in the HFT and adding the Swag kit to it. I'd rather purchase one all around roller.
The lowest I've built was using 16 Schwinn wheels respoked and rehubbed with an MTB 6 gear hub. The seat height is 15 inches. Another I've built using 26 inch wheels has the seat height at 15 inches too. The lowest fwd I built (a Slider trike, I ran 20 inch bmx forks horizontally of the back tube with 20 inch bmx wheels) has the seat at 6 inches off the ground.
Welding square tubing in a diamond shape is much stronger than welding it together in a square pattern. Diamond shape will not bend or buckle anywhere near as easily as square.

The guy spray painted over spots ( poorly and unmatched) that made me get closer on head leaning looks that i found original decals he painted that read in old-school script,
" Ridin' Dirty "
" Maui built "
With square symbol of company a turtle 🐢
At 1st i thought it was someone local AND went to school with also grew up around but i research the name and found the company but couldn't find any bikes persay that was it or anything like this bike on Internet they had bikes made in Maui
Maui made bikes but no Maui built company logo bikes!
The bike has fins kike 57 Chevy with taillight ( rubber) also guy painted over ....
Would you know of anything to help me on origin ?

Heck yeah man. That's what this is about. Learn, make cool stuff, mess up and keep trying new things.

No unfortunately. Buy the Hulk bender from Swag. Way better and you can use both
Love all your bikes, whats the lowest a seat can be for a comfortable ride? Id love it at 1/4 ot the tire bottom to top, is it achieveable?
I mostly stick with about 2 feet from the bottom of the frame to top of seat post.
The lowest I've built was using 16 Schwinn wheels respoked and rehubbed with an MTB 6 gear hub. The seat height is 15 inches. Another I've built using 26 inch wheels has the seat height at 15 inches too. The lowest fwd I built (a Slider trike, I ran 20 inch bmx forks horizontally of the back tube with 20 inch bmx wheels) has the seat at 6 inches off the ground.
Been there done that about 15 years ago and I still have it but mine's a chopper not a lowrider.

👍🏻
where do you get the wheels and tires from
Watch the last video
Good day I would like to custom my chopper motorcycle
Awesome! Get to it!
best
