The large hole for the cables??? It should be fine. It’s a cruise not a jumper. lol.I would be worried by such a large on a single tube bike, but it looks brilliant on a twin tube bike like that

Got some color on her. Still need to spray the chain guard and front wheel.
Front wheel is painted. The chain guard needed fill primer due to putting. It should be done soon.
I didn’t take the wheel apart to paint the rim. I taped off the center hub and then used liquid masking on the spokes and nipples. We will see how it worked tomorrow.

Started assembly. Every thing is going good so far. I had to clean out some heavy paint around the crank bearing races.
I’m pretty close to finishing. I need a couple cable clamps and adjust the shift cable. I don’t like my seat post so I have to cut and re weld it. I also need to finish the chain guard and come up with a final name. The chain guard will determine the name.
Looks great! Looks like your seat is long enough for a straight post. Nice work! 
You know, I like a stick shift! The hidden cables give a clean look for your step through frame.
Name? "Pink Chopper"
Thanks Wayne. Name is till up in the air. Waiting to finish the chain guard. I have two in mind BBC or Rosey
Bad
Barbie
Chopper
MattiThundrrr
Rattus All Terrainus
Rosie sounds kinda tough
This name is what I was referring in "Pink Chopper". People that don't know any bike lingo might catch "chopper". We know it's a step through, and it's a muscle bike, but also a sub group of the muscle bike is a chopper.
BBC for the win!
I like where Matti is going with this.
How about 'Tough Girl'? Or a takeoff of the '86 Molly Ringwald movie "Pretty in Pink"...."Pretty Tough in Pink".
So I painted my rim but didn’t want to take it apart. I used liquid masking and painted the spokes including the nipples. Covered the center with a plastic bag, scuffed and painted. Check out how easy the mask peels off
Wow, that's cool! Hadn't seen that before. Will definitely try that sometime.

That technique definitely cuts the mustard
Going to finish in time?
I’m pretty much done. I’m waiting on a graphic that is a last minute idea and my sticker guy said he will do but it’s going to be at the wire. I feel like the teutuls from occ. lol. We got a deadline to meet
I just took her for a ride, and rode a few wheelies
