I have been building competitive lowrider bikes since 1997.
The first bike I built was "Twisted Toy" which showed for 6 show seasons with the Lowrider Tour winning nearly every competition is was entered in. Twisted Toy also won numerous "Best of Show" awards and after its retirement is considered as one of the best mild custom bikes ever built. Twisted Toy was featured in Lowrider Bike Magazine twice.
After retiring Twisted Toy from the show circuit in 2004, I built a radical show stopper "Pinnacle." Pinnacle was built with the intention to compete and win the prized "Lowrider Bike of the Year" title. In October, 2005 Pinnacle's first showing in Las Vegas was good, winning 2nd Place Bike of the Year, but not quite my goal. In October, 2006 Pinnacle showed again winning "Lowrider Bike of the Year" against tough competitors. In 2007 I plan on defending my title and bringing the Lowrider Bike of the Year title back to Florida once again.
While showing Twisted Toy, I was approached by, a now good friend, Andrew Arce to build a radical trike "Asylum." This trike showed for its first time in 2001 the trike won Best of Show at its first show and was featured on the Lowrider Bike front cover. Asylum continued undefeated, winning Bets of Show until the 2005 Super Show in Vegas where it was beaten for its first time ever. Asylum still accomplished a major goal by winning 2nd Place 2005 Trike of the Year. The future of this trike is unknown but I hope to see it showing again soon.
In 2004 I was approached by, a now good friend, Jesse Hopkins who asked if I would build him a show winning bike. I agreed to accept the challenge and built "Aquemini." Aquemini is a Full custom bike which has numerous features and parts that some radical bikes don't have. Aquemini won 1st Place full custom bike at its first showing and was undefeated in Full custom winning the 3rd Place 2005 Bike of the Year. In 2006 Aquemini continued winning first place Full Custom undefeated until the 2006 Super Show where it was beat for the first time ever winning 2nd Place Full Custom.
At the end of 2004, a few good friends of mine and I decided to start our own bike club "Nobility." Showing first at the Miami show in 2005 we won numerous awards and shocked the bike world. In 2005 we made our first journey to Vegas for the Super Show. The results of this show, we won 2nd + 3rd Place Bike of the Year and 2nd Place Trike of the Year. In 2006 we went to numerous shows on the Lowrider Tour winning a total of 56 awards with 10 Best of Show awards won.
In conclusion, I have made numerous show winning bikes in the past 10 years and finally decided to make my product and services available to the rest of the Lowrider bike community.
I hope my new line and style please your needs!
Sincerely, Mike Linville
