Ok i was watching some of the builds being made in this build off and i got inspired by all of it so i decided to have a go at it to:)

I live in holland and its too bad i cant find really nice old cruisers like all the bikes your building..
No schwinns, no elgins and all that kinda stuff, at least not for litttle..
I really like boardtrackers so i decided to create one myself and today i saw a oppurtinity..
We got this bike in today at my work and i saw some potential..

And im also gonna make my own springer frontend from scratch..

Good luck, hope your plan works for you.
 
I found some parts today cleaning up my garage
A brooks saddle and grips
A headlight and a taillight that i am converting to led which will be powered by an dynamo hub from shimano
I want to incorporate the tail light some where in the frame but i havent figured that out yet..

Great start point and parts stash, particularly those cool grips. Over here in England we have the same issues as you guys do with project material so you're not alone.

So today i bought and found some parts again:) and...
I decided i'm gonna donate my lowrider frame and wheels to my build..
So i'll chop my old frame up for the rear part of my frame:)
My motto is if you don't ride it, chop it!:confused:

I like that loop-tail section. I also like your velosolex 5000. I'm keep seeing mopeds in the back ground of this years build-off photos. I get distracted easily.
 
Great grogress so far, Ive always wanted to do a flipped girls frame bike... I also love scooters/mopeds is that a Zundapp?!?!? sooo cool, you should turn that into a sweet cafe racer project some time ;)
