mothafuckas are expensive....I built one (original schwin frame) from the ground up and sold it for $500. Cost me $250 to complete. Profit $250.....Of course this was years ago when i was 19 (10 yrs to be exact) My nephew built his own too looks pretty good...He went to the same place to buy parts for the lowrider bike, the Berryessa Flea market (San Jose) Shit costs a lot now though...
