That could go either way, tough call.
I like that idea. In fact, I just grabbed another skirt and chain guard set from the bay. Not the easiest thing to acquire, though I have picked up two sets in a few months. Seller took my offer which was pretty fair. The chain guard is almost worn through from the crank, but I have another chain guard. And I picked up a nice 24” Murray, that gave up some similar handlebars to the Thunderbolt, along with a Shimano 333 with the coaster brake. A $20 find. I’m on my way to pick up an Electra 3 speed that will give up its fenders, chain guard, wheel set and gear. With the 3 bikes to build one, I am at $100 to build. The skirts would add little more to that total. A his and hers would be cool. I wanted to make this one to try and sell later, but this new idea may change my mind.dude, step through version of your Thunderbolt build off winner would be killer!!!
