I would be worried by such a large on a single tube bike, but it looks brilliant on a twin tube bike like that

The large hole for the cables??? It should be fine. It’s a cruise not a jumper. lol.

Got some color on her. Still need to spray the chain guard and front wheel.

 

[Tintmanpa]

Front wheel is painted. The chain guard needed fill primer due to putting. It should be done soon.
I didn’t take the wheel apart to paint the rim. I taped off the center hub and then used liquid masking on the spokes and nipples. We will see how it worked tomorrow.

Assembly starts tomorrow and I need my bike stand back . I’ve been cleaning the chrome on this formost (murry). Tire going back on for now and back to the build

 

[Tintmanpa]

Started assembly. Every thing is going good so far. I had to clean out some heavy paint around the crank bearing races.

I’m pretty close to finishing. I need a couple cable clamps and adjust the shift cable. I don’t like my seat post so I have to cut and re weld it. I also need to finish the chain guard and come up with a final name. The chain guard will determine the name.

Looks great! Looks like your seat is long enough for a straight post. Nice work!

You know, I like a stick shift! The hidden cables give a clean look for your step through frame.

Name? "Pink Chopper"

Thanks Wayne. Name is till up in the air. Waiting to finish the chain guard. I have two in mind BBC or Rosey
Bad
Barbie
Chopper

Rosie sounds kinda tough

Bad Barbie Chopper

This name is what I was referring in "Pink Chopper". People that don't know any bike lingo might catch "chopper". We know it's a step through, and it's a muscle bike, but also a sub group of the muscle bike is a chopper.

BBC for the win!

I like where Matti is going with this.

How about 'Tough Girl'? Or a takeoff of the '86 Molly Ringwald movie "Pretty in Pink"...."Pretty Tough in Pink".

 

[Tintmanpa]

A little last minute addition. I’m close to finishing. Bikes all together and I rode it today. Shifter needs some adjustment and the chain guard is still waiting for paint

 

[Tintmanpa]

So I painted my rim but didn’t want to take it apart. I used liquid masking and painted the spokes including the nipples. Covered the center with a plastic bag, scuffed and painted. Check out how easy the mask peels off

 

[OddJob]

Wow, that's cool! Hadn't seen that before. Will definitely try that sometime.

That technique definitely cuts the mustard

Going to finish in time?

I’m pretty much done. I’m waiting on a graphic that is a last minute idea and my sticker guy said he will do but it’s going to be at the wire. I feel like the teutuls from occ. lol. We got a deadline to meet
