It's a surprise gift for my Lady. A while back she took my Scrambler for a ride and it seemed to be a nice fit, she has a Cruiser and a Road Bike, but now she'll have a Muscle Bike to ride with me when I'm on mine. So I found this at a garage sale for 5 bucks...

Pretty crusty, pretty old, it even had an original polo seat!
So flash froward a bit... Mongoose mags, white tires eventually a 20 x 2.125 on the back 20 x 1.95 on the front, bare metal, ram horns and wrap from my first build here...

So I modified the drive train, used flattop exercizer bike pedals, uncrusted the sissy, borrowed a seat that's now been on 3 MBBO bikes...

It's not paint, it's Dupli-Color Clear Effex.


New back tire 20 x 2.125, new brake cables, repo valve caps...

I really like how yours turned out, I think the tape on the handlebars and the chain against the bare metal look really makes it pop! :41:
Made the mistake of showing it to my wife and she asked when I was going to build her one of her own. Wait maybe I can parlay that into buying more parts I need for my builds too. :39:
 
Can't wait for some sunshine to really see the clear sparkle.
 
Looks fantastic! Good to see I wasn't the only one building a girls bike. They fix up pretty good in my opinion. Girls like bikes, too.
Those wheels are the bee's knees! LOL!
 
Love those bars!
