That stance is a KILLA!!! It would killa my back to ride it! :eek:

I've seen some tires like you're taking about on a few store bought bikes. I had one for awhile but forget what it was called. Got it from Walmart. EDIT: It was a NEXT Avalon. Mine had pinstripe tires. Here's an eBay listing for a pair with the same tread mine had...

The bars are on loan from my Vagabond. I've got a couple other styles I'm going to try before I make a decision.

Taillight bulbs came in the mail. Dog ate the seat I was thinking of using. Maybe it was his way of telling me it was a bad choice. Not mad at the dog......Hard to get mad at this face.....

No you're not. Don't lie.

Stopped into a local Goodwill the other day. I've been soooo good about not buying bikes, but once I saw this, I couldn't pass it up. Would you?!? It's in excellent shape with only a couple flaws in the decals. The child seat was the kicker!!

I started breaking down "Olds Cool" so I can start cleaning the frame to oil it. Wouldn't ya know it......even after soaking in PB Blaster for a week or more, the darn left pedal doesn't want to come out! This thing must've sat outside for a looong time. Time for the cutting wheel! I wasn't...

My barber has a pink one like this. 1958 I think. I gave him a '58 Schwinn awhile back to do up like his car. I'll have to see what the status is on it. Great idea for a theme! I like auto themed builds.

So does this mean you're not going to buy mine???

It's 6:17 am and now I want some BBQ chicken!! Road trip!!

Bad? I don't know. Simple and Ratty? Absolutely! But thanks anyway for the compliments!

Tail lights

The square tire look was really the only thing I knew I wanted for this build. I'm pleased with how these came out.

Will multiple applications of BLO give the surface a slightly different look with each application, or will it look the same?

Doc T.....the wheels are 26"x57mm. The tires are 26x2.125. They're a little weird to mount because of their soft sidewalls, but not difficult. I don't think they'd look as good on a narrower rim personally. That's probably why I've had these on stand by all this time.

Wheels, taillights and a decorative theme piece are what came in the mail yesterday. Mounted a set of Kenda Kraze tires I've had laying around awhile. They filled out nicely on the 57mm rims. Gives the tire an almost square look, which it what I wanted. Front tire clearance is TIGHT! Did the...

But I get them so easily confused.....

I like it when there's a big brown box on the front porch when I get home from work! AND.....a smaller one in the mailbox! That could only mean one thing. PARTS IS HERE YA'LL!!! :rockout::113:

I don't like to use the word HATE, so I STRONGLY and SEVERELY DISLIKE waiting on parts to come in the mail!!!! :headbang:
