Daughters Bike

[aka_locojoe]

My Daughter recently asked for a bike so she would have something to ride with the Grandkids. I gave her a choice of the girls frames I had and she chose this Monark El Camino.

That's gonna be sweet Randy.

As always...I'm sure the quality will be excellent.

Keep us posted on the build.

Great Combo Randy..

seat for the Finish...

The combo of color is perfect. Not too much pink but enough.

 

[Firewalker]

ya! that would be a cool finish ...... I see a purple to match the bike with pink welting

 

[aka_locojoe]

A custom seat would be nice but... if anyone's getting a custom seat it'll be me :wink: . Plus I'm trying to do this first bike for her on the cheap.

Sandblasted the bike the other night and painting it today. It's a satin periwinkle color.

 

[Clothespin n]

I Love that Color..

Periwinkle is a very Cool Blue with Red Tones.
It will look sweet with Pink!

keep us Posted,
Kev.

The bike is mostly done. Working on a few details now that may take a while.
The color looks nothing like the cap of the can. We like it none the less.

 

[Clothespin n]

That's awesome!

I love it!
Kev.

By the looks of the bracket the bike originally had peaked fenders which I didn't have. Drilled 2 holes in this standard fender to mount it.

Randy, Quit teasing us. Post a pic of the whole bike. I like your attention to detail. The pedals are perfect. This will be a very fun and whimsical ride for your daughter.

Pedals are in The Back ground.

You nailed the theme...it looks great....can't wait to see the whole thing.

^^^^^
what he said!

looks awesome so far tho

 

[aka_locojoe]

Thanks guys.
Right now I'm waiting on her to do something with the chainguard. She was talking painting flowers on it so we'll see how that goes. I may end up having to strip and repaint the chainguard if that doesn't work out.

 

[ricksterr1221]

HA I painted the guard on my build bike 3 times and i still dont like it!

 

[aka_locojoe]

My Daughter painted the chain guard. The flowers on the basket are old costume jewelry we got at an antique store. The flower on the rear fender bracket is a drawer knob/pull. Flowers on the tank are some kind of decoration that go on shoes.
