the important part is back on, the badge!

I spotted this and I thought about the Tiny Human's bike. These badges are still made by the the same company that made them for Schwinn so many years ago. Made in USA, not cheap though.

Progress! Went with the original chrome sprocket and I think the original bars fit tiny her better for now.

Got a light dusting of pink overspray on the training wheels but liked it so I kept it.

the kickstand on the other hand I somehow missed I oversprayed

my top choice for seat is out because the mold them into these cheap little bikes. The OG seat is in rough shape.

The white paint on the training wheel mounts is the worst paint I’ve ever used but they look cool. I scratched the crap out of the chain guard so it’s back drying

the seat is slowly cleaning up. It may have to be good enough because tiny bike seats are tiny.

This seems to be about as good as it gets. Starting to scrub the leather off instead of the gunk.

The underside is very crusty, sprayed it black just to try and hide it.

The beast is on the ground, training wheels adjusted and handgrips on. Have to add the seat and see how my tiny human fits! White grips aren’t perfect but the best I have handy and these bars are only til she’s tall enough for bmx bars

A few small finishing touches yet to go and then some adjusting to fit the tiny human. The seat looks slightly out of place but with the original bars and crankset I think I can live with it
