I had to stop with the build of my 16'' because of one little problem...paint wouldn't stick! I could have it sandblasted but on my budget I figured it would be best to find a different frame. Half an hour later I came across this, 18'' Redline I got when I was 7 and never really rode it, let it sit and used it for parts...until now! I started last night by sanding it and then washing it with soap/water. Here's what I'm starting with-

Will post more pics soon.

Ony the first link works, a better way is when you look at the photo in photobucket down to the right there are 4 boxes, just cut & paste what's in the "IMG Code - Forums & Bulletin Boards" box and paste into your post. The photo will come up without needing to click a link
