I'm going for a theme much like the Felt cruiser "Picnic" with a few mods and some personal touches, but that's my inspiration. We were at a Swap a month ago and a LBS was representing some cruisers and they had the "Picnic" there. Well, my wife saw it and loved it! She already loves her Electra Twiggy, but really liked the cherry red of the Felt. So, as opposed to parting with $400, I thought, "Hey, I could replicate a similar look and add some more style here and there for less than half the price!"
So, here goes! Since I heard about the new Build Off a day late, I had already taken the bike apart some, but here's the frame, fork, seat and wheels. As of these pics, the bottom end, headset and other parts are sitting in a mineral bath and the handlebars and grips are on my shop bench. This thing is one of the greasiest bikes I've ever laid eyes on and some nasty paint and scratches. Hope it turns out good a couple months from now! Thanks for looking... Good luck to all of us!
Thanks again...
