Even for a younger guy I feel naive....I actually thought the title was referring to the OP looking for a bike that once belonged to a murdered cholo...

^^Pretty much this.

If you want to know what a murdered out bike looks like, look at my signature pic.

Like I said in a previous post, most cholo style bikes have way too much chrome to be considered even close to a "murdered out" look.

I don't know what the problem is...those two terms (cholo/murdered) are pretty common down here in SoCal.

OP, post up some pics when you finish your project. I hope you have a fat powdercoating fund...you're going to need it!

I love this merging of cultures. Black fishtails and black bars on a Lo. Black out as much chrome as possible. It's gonna be cool. Gotta do white walls too.
It's like if an SOA bike and Mayan bike had a baby. Nobody has yet posted a pic. I don't think it exists. You can be the first with this hybrid.

Those Chicano boys out in California have set some standards on tricking out bikes. I doubt you would tell em they have "tacoed" out bikes to a group of em....
