Grind the sides flat

What's the big spring do?

I dig it. How'd you do the seat?

Pretty great shape all thing considering. That flash rust will clean right off.

Use a paint stripper wheel on a drill. Fast easy and gets it to smooth bare metal. Everything else is too messy and toxic.

Well. The time has come to say goodbye. Hitting hard times and my stash of cool bikes and parts must got to pay for bills. This bike is first on my like of items forsale. May part this out.

Thanks everyone

Thanks guys. Sensor haha she didn't spray for vet long. she did two strokes and gave up then did laps in the yard with the dog. Her tiny hands could barely press the nozzle down. But yeah safety first. She wore safety glass when taking the bike apart hAha.

@slow I couldn't agree with you more. I wanted her to get white walls but she insisted on all black. We originally wanted a pink nana but the nice one was going for 175 bucks on eBay and well... this was only 25. The grip match it and I think the white and pink pin striping we are planning with...

Once all the parts were prepped for paint, good use of the sheppard's hook came to play. Nina finds using self etching primer with too hands works best for her. While the primer was getting set up (about 45min) Nina and I scrubbed the rims with simple green, taped the spokes, scuff sanded...

OK now the fun part. She's actually pretty good at taking stuff apart once I loosen the tight stuff. Once she had everything taken apart and hardware was soaking I had her wire brush every piece. SOS pads are great for removing surface rust from chrome and Yes Nina removes the nail polish...

OK So my 9yr old daughter decided she was ready to build her first bike. Since here current bike was a 16" BRATZ bike and she is growing like a sumac tree, I was enthusiastic. Ratina came through with the 20" 64' Schwinn Fiesta. Pretty rare bike since the only made them in 20" for one year. I...

WOW!!

Looks like you moved to South Philly from those photos.

Where did you score the all white Kenda tires. I've been looking for a set of those.
