So here's my project so far...
I wasn't gonna attempt the build-off, but after some razzing(thanks Mr. Farrell) I decided I may be able to accomplish it in time. After I finish re-assembling my wife's Hawthorne that I tore down(see the green bike in my pictures) and repaint and re-gear it. If anyone needs any Split-tooth parts, let me know...
But back to my prospective build...
I plan on painting it red, putting tall bars on it, and possibly using a 5-speed rear wheel and a stickshift on it.
The frame was bought on Ebay for $40 including shipping. All the other parts will be coming from a few parts bikes I have around... An old Huffy 5 speed beachcruiser and a huffy trike(I think those 2 will become one... and I'll call it the ZenTrike)... I'll keep y'all posted. And if I don't meet the deadline, I'll move this to the builds section...
This is my first build per se... I've done my fair share of making old rusty bikes work and building motorcycles and cars, but I've never put together a bike from scratch...
