First I would like to thank everybody for yet another fantastic build-off,I have enjoyed your comments,help and advice...
I dedicate this build to my loving grandmother who passed away recently.
I also dedicated the sidecar Minnehaha to a fellow members sister(who's nickname was Minnehaha).

I started with a French Femme Bike from the 30's,and wanted step back in time,as I have a passion for boardtrackers.
Fell in love with a 1912 Arrow,and decided to go from there,adding a sidecar on the way...
Here is my build thread;

The sidecar chassis is changeable to a flatbed.
The globe on the front is solar color changing.
The vintage cinema glass beehive light has red flashing lights and different sounding sirens.
Almost all the parts are from France.
Crow feathers from my backyard(no crow was harmed in anyway;))

What a great frame and fork to start with, and you did nothing but improve on it! I have to admit that I was skeptical about the water tank in the beginning, but you obviously new what you were doing. So nice. :thumbsup:

p.s. Add the hay bail picture.
 
Thanx guys if it wasn't for this site and the encouragement ,thoughts/inputs and wishes.Gawd knows what I would be doing;)
You guys inspire me to think outside the bike...
