custom bike
Fun text describing a custom bike that's a lower, stretched version of a beach cruiser. Intended audience is of course bike enthusiasts.
La fourche est suspendue au moyen d’anciens ressorts de selle à larges spires, le guidon (un morceau de chaise) passant en travers des ressorts.
Not sure how this would be phrased "in the trade": "suspended by means of wide-coil seat springs"?
There's a four-minute video of the bike being made here https://hickone.blogspot.com/2013/11/irzouts-x-backshot-vide... Images are a bit fast to appreciate what's happening, but I think the best shots of the fork are around 3 minutes when the designer is riding the bike.

: Sound unnatural in EN, and in fact, they are not 'of' large coils; they HAVE large coils, but are 'OF' a saddle.
