Cruiser build for my sis

[Machine Age Victim]

My sis has taken to riding and asked me about getting a bike. So, I told her I'd see what I can find her and make it to her liking. I need to have it done by the 10th but I need to finish my BBO8 bike first and throw together a balloon tire bike before the 10th too (I usually work on one while the paint is drying on the other).

Grabbed this today from a thrift store:

and this is the inspiration for the build

I started making a wally schwinn for my sis, my first bike paint job, came out nice.

That should make a great base for an all around bike.

Yeah, it's a very solid bike and will do everything she'll need it to do until she upgrades to a dedicated road bike.

Love the inspiration. One of my favorite cars in my favorite color.

look up "tom boy canti" It never got finished, it got buried in the hurricane and my sister lost interest in me building it. I can touch it up and build it though.

Great job. Don't tell her that it's a boy's bike!

The sign painter in me wants to see some lettering on that chain guard!

Thanks everyone!!!
She LOVES it, she's ok with it being a boy's bike, she calls it 'bruiser.'

Very cool! The blackout on the down tube is a really nice touch!
