Cool. I like it with the guard; to me it completed the bike. I love having guards tho as I can't stand having strap on my leg

Just a quick mock up but gives a good idea what its going to look like.

Thanks. Probably traditional for now. I have 2 other 26" bikes needing banana seats but own no seats. Probably going to try using this for now. If it don't hurt too much to ride on I'll probably stick with it otherwise I'll try to figure something out.

Progress. Starting to look like a bike again. Back wheel is spinning great again (not sure what that was about, I cleaned and repacked it) fork is mounted along with the new front fender, the bars are just setting in place because I need to get it on the ground to get them where I'll need them...

Oooo shinny "new" parts. Looking good.

Looks good. Maybe swap those bmx looking bard for some ape hangers? Going to add fenders?

Sounds like a plan

At some point in time it was repainted (poorly) but it looks cool; the blotchy glow in the dark part is fun too. Its a Lincoln Nebraska plate; that's where I live; so I'm happy. These are hard to find & is the only one I've found for sale.

Going to try to get some work in but wanted to post the license plate. Normal Lights out

Thanks. Those fenders are massive (3" wide) the 26x2.2 Hank tires are big but there's still plenty of room. If it wasn't for the fact I had to dent them a little more than they were to fit in the seat stays they would have cleared 2.5" wide tires without thinking. I agree they look good and add...

Thanks. Been wondering what I'd use these mammoth fenders on since the bike they were going to go on ended up being too far gone (it was rusting away from the inside out & found tons of bondo under the repaint). The part I havnt showed yet is the 1963-64 bicycle license plate on that rear fender...

Made a little more progress. The rear fender is bolted in place (still need to trim the extra bit off the ones of the supports). The chain & guard went on nicely. Now of course there has to be the good old so many steps forward and 1 back... The rear wheel started making strange sounds so I'm...

Little update. Rear fender is mostly done; still need to trim a drill new holes to the rear supports to be able to bolt on but otherwise a great fit.

Have a ratty pair of 14.5(ish) inch tall apes from a huffy rail I'm planning to use. They are chrome. Also going to pull the black repop Schwinn grips off Bad Wolf and use those on this.

Well got the fork clear coated. Got the crank installed & started fitting the new rear fender. Need to find a couple new bolts to be able to move forward with the fender but for now its bed time.

Quick update. Its back on the stand and going to try to get a tad bit of work in real quick.

Alien fire (a laser)

Thanks Luke. Today went to everything but bikes; didn't even get to cleaning my work area. Tomorrow looks about the same too but I am going to try to squeeze in time. On a fun side note I found a pos women's Murray mtn bike in a dumpster; wouldn't have noticed it because all the trash on it...

The wheels are cute. They look like pinwheels; I'd be tempted to paint each spoke a different color. Good starting point.

The bike or the bug?
