Pic1. All Original 1972 Stingray parts.
Pic2. Wheels, Tires, Stem, Bars, Grips, Saddle, Sissy all off a donor in 8/10 cond. Canary Yellow. Some Girls Muscle bike, even stock with the Slick and slim tire pair, in rider condition!
Guard said Scamp, Badge said Ross., Ross didnt make a "Scamp" from what I could find [and I really dig..] so I presume that at least was unoriginal but likely the only part, given the Yellows were VERY slightly differing upon closer eyeballing.
Rear wheels a Bendix 70.
Fenders werent a match unfortunately,. but it does wonders on a summer day cruise.

It started with a very simple thought and a 20" girl's frame. The end result required more thought than I figured to begin with. The rear section had to be altered for clearance of my oversized feet, as well as to get the rear assembly to sit with the attitude I had in mind. Then there was the basket that was longer than the original, so the rear section was stretched a little to accommodate the additional length. This is where it ended up for now though. At some point in the future, the basket may be replaced by a "bed" type arrangement (think stake body truck - wood)
It is quite a hoot to ride and the neighbor kids think I'm crazy... maybe they're on to something!
Thanks for looking!

wow Beautiful man ! what a transformation ! i really like that , most people would of seen this frame as junk , but you made it funk!
My Huffy Parkside. Don't want to go too crazy with the doodaddery as this is my main ride and I don't want to make it too heavy or whatever. Fenders are a set of bobbed SKS Beavertail universals. Can't find any other fenders for 27.5x2 tires that are cheap enough to bob! LOL
3-chainring crankset from Sun Tour. Only using the middle 38 tooth sprocket for now. Perhaps someday I may add a front derailleur.
Fresh from the store...

I've been at it again. The Parkside has acquired a pair of vintage styled pedals to replace the original all plastic parts and the fenders off my 26" Huffy Nel Lusso cruiser. Yeah, I was amazed too that the fenders for the 26" bike fit so well on the 27.5'er...
