Show me your 26" bikes with banana seats

We were spending a few weeks at the beach, and I needed a bike to get around, and not be afraid to leave outside. I took an old frame and some of the parts from my wifes' bike.

This bike later became the bike Rats Alt. Steve's pick for the cover of the 2012 RRB calendar.

I bought this Firestone Speed Cruiser from an RRB member (CeeBee) with the intention of doing pretty much nothing to it. I haven't changed a thing since...however, I have a box for the parts I've been accumulating for it :confused:. Leave as is? I don't know why I believe me when I tell myself such blatant lies :crazy:!
