Fits:
Designed to fit 20-inch lowrider bicycles. The kit includes a rear setup with a 16-inch wheel to complete the vintage lowrider look, providing a sleek, lowered aesthetic that enhances the classic stance of lowrider bikes.
Size Tire:
The kit accommodates a 16-inch tire, typically paired with a 16-inch wheel. This smaller tire size creates a lowered profile that is emblematic of lowrider style, where the visual appeal of the bike's frame and accessories is prioritized.
Size Wheel:
Uses a 16-inch wheel as part of the continental kit setup, which complements the tire size and fits seamlessly into the bike’s frame. The smaller wheel contrasts with the bike’s 20-inch frame, a common feature in lowrider builds.
Color:
The kit is finished in chrome, offering a shiny, reflective surface that enhances the appearance of the bike. Chrome is a popular choice for lowrider components due to its durability and high luster, which creates a show-quality finish when polished. The chrome plating also resists rust and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting visual appeal.
Model:
Cage Square Twisted design. This model features a square twisted pattern, with the steel bars forming a cage-like structure around the rear wheel. The twisting of the bars provides a sense of craftsmanship and adds visual complexity to the rear of the bike, emphasizing the detailed, custom look that is central to lowrider culture.
Material:
Constructed from steel, the cage offers durability and strength. The steel framework ensures that the continental kit is sturdy enough to protect the rear tire while also contributing to the overall structural integrity of the bike. The steel material is then chrome-plated to give it the polished, reflective finish typical of high-end lowrider components.
Brand:
The kit is manufactured by Vintage Lowrider, a well-known brand in the lowrider community that specializes in high-quality, custom components. Vintage Lowrider is renowned for producing show-quality parts that pay homage to classic lowrider designs while maintaining modern durability and functionality.
Cage Square Twisted Pattern:
The square twisted design of the cage adds both style and structural integrity to the kit. This intricate twisting process results in a pattern that is both visually appealing and strong. The twisted steel bars are arranged in a cage-like structure around the rear wheel, serving both as a protective feature and a decorative element.
Chrome Finish:
The chrome plating is not just about aesthetics but also about protecting the steel from environmental wear. Chrome is a highly durable material that resists corrosion, rust, and tarnish, making it ideal for use on bicycles that may be exposed to the elements. The mirror-like shine of the chrome finish adds an extra level of flair to the bike, creating a head-turning effect that is especially eye-catching in well-lit conditions.
Installation and Fitment:
This continental kit is designed to fit 20-inch lowrider bike frames with relative ease. The kit comes with the necessary fittings to attach it securely to the bike’s rear frame. The 16-inch wheel is mounted within the cage structure, maintaining the visual balance that lowrider bikes are known for. The kit fits snugly around the rear wheel, enhancing the bike's appearance while also serving a functional purpose by protecting the rear tire.
Protection:
The cage design of the continental kit helps protect the 16-inch rear tire from potential damage, while the square twisted pattern adds structural strength. This allows the kit to maintain its shape and function even under light impacts or vibrations from riding.
Aesthetic Enhancement:
The chrome finish and square twisted design transform the appearance of the bike. The lowrider culture places heavy emphasis on visual details, and this kit adds a layer of custom craftsmanship that makes the bike stand out at shows or while cruising around town.
