She who must be obeyed asked me to build a bike. So I have to, she wants to teach our grand daughter to ride and the bike the kid has is way to small for a 7 year old. Since I had this Mongoose Sniper laying around it had to do. I just shortened the name, why? 'Cause I wanted to.
So I stuck some parts together.
my dawg is a camera hawg
Here's the mockup without the dog.
Since she is the main motivator (instigator?) behind this build I made her help me get the stickers off.
Then after a little scrubbing I laid on some flat black on the frame & fork.
& some Krylon "Watermelon" on the wheels.
With the white tires this thing ought to be super cool. It will have my favorite brake arrangement too, a coaster on the rear &
cantilever brakes on the front for an easy ride with a little more stopping power.
I hope she likes it. :lol:
