This bike was conceived as a serial bike, but we are still far from the series, it is expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, using our small workshop and calling friends for help, I make beautiful bicycles practically "on my knees".
So, the beginning is always in sketches.
A sleek ladies' cruiser with a low rise and size enough for a tall girl.

I asked my friend Ivan Zemlyanoy to help me with welding the frame. My workshop is not designed for such work, so I do them on the side.
Aluminum alloy as always))

Well, now I'm preparing for painting. Before that, you need to assemble and fit all the parts to each other.

Fenders.

The Fenders were custom made, rolled out of aluminum and turned out to be very tough and beautiful.

Chain guard.

I found it at a local flea market for a penny, good, aluminum)

An old fork from the Schwinn tandem came in handy. I just lengthened the stem and peeled off the paint.

In painting!

Painting work had to be ordered from another friendly workshop. The paint is just fire!

Now I need to apply pinstriping. I always do this at home, so calmly and no one interferes.

Now it's time to have some real fun!

Assembling a bicycle is like giving birth to a child, it is always exciting and not immediately turns out to be beautiful)) But in the end, he is always loved and beautiful)

Front fender is done.
Due to the fact that the fenders turned out to be very rigid, the struts had to be made from an aluminum 8 mm rod so that the whole structure kept its shape. But in the end, we got an anti-tank system on which you can jump with your feet)
