The first bike I've built so far. I know some may hate on it but I personally dig it. Anyways... here it is.
What is started as and my crappily photoshopped vision:
The breakdown began...

Painting/Stripping Supplies... that can on the far left is pure amazing. Pics of it's capabilities below:
My make-shift paint rig. Not terrible for a rattle can job.
I TRIED primering my front forks but I could not fit it back in the trees so I was forced to go with a brushed metal look ha.
Neon went on...
It glowed...![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
And I got impatient. But was a simple fix...
I even painted screw heads... details, yo...
Other parts began coming in... and the shoe that inspired the paint job.
My beefy tires... went with a 24x3 setup
Rims finally came in from Germany... yea... I know.
A few of the first pics... sans front fender:
(that's my ladies Schwinn Collegiate)
PHEW. Thanks for taking a look. I've got a few others I'm working on currently. I'll post pics when those are done.
