I don't know if I had already posted this before, but this is a bike I built from scratch. I built it a few years ago, for a friend's daughter. The head tube and bottom bracket shell were donated from another bike, and I built the rest. It was painted with rustoleum rattle cans...

Awesome bike! I too use rustolium paints... Well rustolium and krylon. I've always had great results from both.
 
Cool color combo , and crazy jumbo frame...That frame looks like a showstopper! Luvs the
tight black details...nice.
 
Nice Bike bud.
Soooo lol how was it welded .... it looks to be Braised Fillet Weld or you molded the welds
 
It rides and steers nice...
The one issue I had with it, was where the bottom bracket/pedals ended up.
The seat tube should have been leaned back more. The head tube should have had more rake.

All the bikes I build/built, are done by eye. I cut, grind, bend and weld everything in my driveway. Each tube is cut and fitted individually, and I don't use any jigs or clamps. So sometimes these issues inadvertently arise....
