For Autumn

[hardcore73]

After much contemplation and apprehension I have decided to join in this buid off. I have been working on this bike since the build off was announced but wasn't sure if I could even contend with some of the more seasoned vets of this community. But then I thought to myself, it's not really about winning so much as it is about enjoying the whole process of building a really fun bike. Also this bike was going to be built wether or not this contest even happened, cause this isn't for me its for my youngest daughter. She has been asking me to build her a bike ever since I started bringing these old bikes home and seeing what I am turning them into. So this is for her (and a little for me :wink

Yep...winning is ending up with a bike you're happy with and that you're proud of.

The bike is assembled but I am waiting for the grips to come in the mail and it will be complete to post the final pics. I am pretty satisfied with the way it turned out, and just in time.
