Boyd Coddington 346

Nirve beachcruisers are one of the Chopperdome's bikes we like to sell, a well thought out cruiser frame, perfect  for cruisin" or daily use. The latest tuned bike is a Nirve Boyd Coddington, adding 144 black spoke 7 speed handbuild wheel rear and a 203 mm discbrake front on the 144 spoked wheel front, to give the bike a little extra. The typical Boyd Coddington style paintsjob doesn't need to be changed. The Nirve Boyd Coddington limited to 175 bikes worldwide.

The DAM 346 and Whipped Cream

Two Nirve frames with paintdamage had to be repainted, we choose white. They were hanging at the shop for some time, waiting for better times. And today was the day this frame started a second life after the first time when it died before gettin' on the road.  Simple black and white with a 346 chopperdome flavour. The DAM transport bike.

The second ended up as the Whipped Cream, with Hawk fork and handlebar, white highcard rims and rimtape, packed in creme Fat Frank's.

Moon Eyes 346

Mooneyes: famous with all HotRod and race fans. Most likely a theme often chosen for custom bikes…or not? We can’t think of many examples. The most impressive model can probably be found in Gent, Belgium. Basically, the Dyno version has not been available in Europe. Nirve took over the manufacturing license after Dyno ceased to exist and many of Nirve’s first employees came from Dyno.

A limited number of the Nirve MoonEyes frames were available in Europe. At present, the bike is no longer available and after the Dyno frame, the Nirve MoonEyes frame has become a collectable item.

Because we would like to make something special of the last Nirve Mooneyes, we used luxury parts for this build-up, including a pair of original Mooneyes wheel covers in 26” during our last visit to the US. Some other parts followed, with the result that only the saddle and frame remained original.

Pink Panther Mens 346 

The Pink Panther Project for Mr. G. After stripping this limited edition cruiser by Nirve completely, a new fork was placed. The double down fork was shortened 6cm for an improved “low” feeling and supplied with braces in order to fit the extra Pink Panthers on the fork. Custom fender braces and bumpers are placed on the fenders and next, the fenders are placed in “streetsweeper style” over the 24 x 3 BadAss tires. The chainring, 3 piece chrome crank and butterfly pedals also get a make over. The new stem and wide handlebar are assembled and in a later stage, a number plate will be attached on the rear fender. ULS frontman G. with his Pink Panther. Just in time for the cruiser of the year election 2005 where it scored some serious points in the TT class.

Pink Panther Ladies 346

And then it is time to pay some attention to our lady customers. Although this build-up was not radical, the result is classical. Instead of the blackwall tires, we used whitewalls, a front and rear light, torpedo carrier by Electra and grips with streamers. Because this bike is used for a long distance ride to school, we included a shimano 3 speed hub.
