I've had difficulty giving this one away. When I get full on bikes a lot of times I give them to people around me that I care about who would like to ride them.
Long stories short, right after i finished it, I gave it to my god-daughter... she rode it a few times ... It came back. I gave it to my best friends wife she rode it a few times and it came back broken.
So it has sat, neglected since about 2020. I built it based on mopar high impact colors. After it was built people would say, that's a Lakers bike, sell it to a fan.
So now, it's up for refinishing now. Paint is cracked and scratched. I want this to be one bad bike that I want to ride. So, I tore it down the other day.
I had one and picked up the front, so adding some old ACS Stoker wheels. Want some 12 or 10 inch apes on it, and make it into another ride that excites.
Plans are to keep it simple. Springer, apes, classic MB stem, maybe fenders, banana seat and cool mags with cool tires.
I do have to warn this first month will be a challenge for time and resources. Will see how far I get.
