had a frame sitting in the garage awaiting death at the dump so ill give it alittle(pun intended) new life.....
this started life as a womans huffy 26" 3 speed(like the one Rat Rod picked up not to long ago). it will end up as either garbage or a ridable bike for my boy when hes tall enough. yeah...............

you better put the foam back on that stand.... your gonna scratch that paint job hahahhahahahhaha
 
got to go to my mothers house and grab my sisters old fair lady for the s7's,chain ring,tires and crank. then off to college to see if i can find some forks, pedals, grips,and bars. i also know where that brooks i picked up is going now! got some of it tacked together to get my geometry right.so far so good :shock:
now i just need to get some 1' round tubing
 
I think it takes a lot more imagination to "shorten" a bike, then it does to stretch it. I like the bike, your shoes...... I'm not so sure. :roll:
Come on "Flip" that down tube, give that "Little he/she" a wicked RAKE! 8)
 
Okay, I get it now! That silver/black thingie is the TOP tube. I "see'! ........That's gonna look nice!
