Retouch the paint (the horse knocked the bike over,and marked the frame)

Thanx Jamie, I thought it would better with 2 colored wheels...
 
For a bike that was suppose to be easy,it sure is making me pull my hair out...:arghh::crazy:
I decided that ,I disliked the bent seat post,so I went with a straight one.I cut from the same chair,a longer post.Stuck it in and now cant get it out. It means that only I can ride the bike:headbang:.Great to ride to the beach,but I feel like a clown. So today I will come up with another idea,as this is for a kid to ride,not me... From now on no more 20" bikes unless kids ask.So next years build-off?Will be a giant muscle bike.
Mounted front brakes(added safety)As recently I lost hydraulic front n rear brakes going down a steep hill on my scooter.:arghh:
I aimed it at a old stone wall,managed to stop n stay on.:grin: With shopping still onboard.:grin:
But cracked the plastic casing that protects the fly wheel,and snapped all the blades.:arghh:
Still works,will go and collect parts from a dumped bike.:happy:
So todays work:
Mount box
rear brakes
seat post AGAIN!
paint touch ups.

I want to be finished today,as we are having wonderful weather, and I want to ride it to the beach for pics...
 
The day started off beautiful,then,clouds then rain,then sun,then clouds,then rain...
But I am FINISHED !!!!
Yeah sing.

Crack up.Luke can make his rain,just turn the sprinkler on... I will just run down between spurts...I was going to go today,but the wind was to strong...
 
Interbreeding.
Crossed Bmx brakes with MTB brakes. Needed them to be wider and longer to fit around the tires. I could have just mounted v-brakes to the frame(but that would have been just to easy):crazy2::whistle::21:

Winds up to 40mph

Everything is sopping wet,more rain on the way.
