Pee-Wee's Big Adventure X-1 Build

[DalekMcFly]

After collecting parts for a while, I figured it was time to shows my WIP build of Pee-Wee Herman's Schwinn.

I started out with a '52 Spitfire/DX, I then purchased aftermarket fenders, and painted them all red. I made the spinners, installed a gooseneck, and installed a few other accessories. Here she is at the moment:

Then of course I had to get the most recognizable thing, the Tiger Siren!

This is my first bike build, and it's the most fun I've had building a replica yet!

Cool man I like it.

Thanks! I've just mounted the tiger to the handlebars. If anyone wants to know where to get one for their custom ride or whatnot. I'll post a link.

Killer idea!! Looking spot on so far.

Thanks guys. Here's the tiger siren mounted:

You mean the saddlebags & upper console? There's a guy in Cali who makes them from fiberglass for about $350 raw.

Actually, I sell them for 395.00 for a raw set. Wow, I haven't been on this site in awhile, looking good Dalek.

Yes actually! I did the pinstripes, installed my rims, I finally got her riding, and I took her for a ride to my park!

Very nice. Keep up the good work.
