Thanks for the replies. Don't really know about the seat post for the moment, I'll see this in the right time. Next step is the fork and then I think it'll be the saddle turn. Double transmission maybe? Moving the crank and all this? Wait and see.

No problem, after a little iron surgical operation it fits well ^^ Gonna cut and bent the fork because the front is too hight... I'd like to move the crank place but I'll see what I could do.

Too late :lol: I cut the fork and the front of the bike for the other frame...I'll post some pics tomorrow. Removed the seatpost to move it on the back of the bike.

I have to agree, this Flightliner is a real beauty, just needs a tank =D Nice finds, you chose great pieces =D

Hi, This is a Schwinn bike for woman but I got it for free =D Baby seat, 3 gears, coaster hub. The person who owned it before lived in Florida in the past, she brought it to France years ago... The gear shifter has some trouble but I'll try to fix it. I may clean it all up but not gonna redo...

I'm not very tall...well I'm regular size but not tall... :lol: Don't worry, I wanna make a comfortable bike ;) Found this handle bars :D

Thanks guys for the feedbacks. Got a new donor for different pieces. Pedals for sure, fork for my homemade bent and other things maybe... I'll get some other bikes like this tomorrow... =D

@JonTheGun: I'm not gonna put the gyro and the brakes back on it. Only a fixed gear =) @jackie chain: yep french =D Some new ideas. New rims. Old vintage 22" I'll delete the BMX fork to put a bent I think (homemade with a regular fork). And I'll cut the bottom of the handle bar as the...

Yippeeee! I received my vintage leather insane saddle! How it looked: Preparing the treatment: Shiny shiny leather! I'm all in joy for this, just love this thing! =D

|Day 5 Thank you =D Today I didn't work a lot on it.. (hey it's sunday! :bandit: ) I painted the spokes (rear wheel only) in black. (yea the pic is awful, we can't see the glossy black with the flash...) I got my glossy white paint for the frame... =D

Thanks =D |Day 4 Today I repaired the defects of the frame and the fork. I also cleaned the rusty parts that were in the coca-cola bath. Good result =D I stripped the rear wheel and cleaned every part of it. I finished by founding an old seatpost and I sanded it =D Oh yea, I found this...

|Day 3 Result of the fuel bath. Perfect. Cleaning of the rims. Not really good. I have to strip them and clean them right (also paint them...but I'll do this later) Just a little try with the grips. I like how it looks but not comfortable at all. Just temporary until I find good leather...

Hi, I like riding BMX with friends and thought it would be cool to show you this...(even if it's not a cruiser, which I can't afford for the moment) |Day 1 So here is the bike when I bring it back home. What I'm gonna do: • single speed • fixed gear • white paint on the frame and the...

Hi, I'm on the board for couples of weeks, watching your bikes and all the tips you post =D Well, I'm French, I'm 18 and I'm kinda passionated by the USA. I start English studies in faculty this year...anyway, I really like the beach cruisers but in France it's not that easy to find one at a...
