    Trying to find a new sticker person has been tough. Keep getting high quality like this where it is no longer sticky.used 2 decals to make one. Clear over it it hopefully help hold it! All that’s left is one more sticker and making sure tiny human fits!

    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

    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...

    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.

    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...

    My love of crappy paint really wanted to leave it like this 😂 but this isn’t for me so more wet sanding and another round of primer. I won’t bore everyone with 2 pages of paint and sand posts 😂 next time I post the frame it will be pink.

    I was way to worried about what color primer I used, this pink doesn’t give a .... what’s under it 😂 lots of sanding to do before paint for real but I was curious while outside cooking dinner.

    Round one of cleaning and sanding. If you like your truck don’t use the hood as a wash bay.for some reason I didn’t expect the training wheel brackets to say scwhinn. These are probably the roughest part I’m trying to save.black was the only primer I had on hand. Went out and got some red...

    Best part of mock up is making sure the tiny one fit. These bars are non adjustable and she can reach but I may go with the factory Schwinn bars. And now ready to start cleaning and sanding for paint prep. Gotta wait for tiny human to sleep because she gets mad if her bike is in view and she...

    Didn’t know that chop had a name here. My first c2 build was a woman’s huffy with that chop and a raked headtube!

    Tiny bike was kicking my butt bad enough we had to go to the garage for penetrating oil and power tools. With the wife’s permission I finally won, but at the cost of the fork most likely. It’s apart and waiting but losing the fork means I lost 100% on it staying red.the wife wanted blue or green...

    So in a change of plans because I didn’t find a step thru I like, but I did finally find a set of tiny wheels I will be building this it’s a 1984 pixie that my 1986 model wife learned to ride on. I got it out of her parents collapsed shed years ago and when we had a daughter I decided she needed...

    Once a week I take my son for an appointment and have to kill an hour. I’ve started taking a bike along. My most recent ride was my ORBO bike from this winter and the one before that was my last MBBO bike!
