drag queen build

[Jay Moore]

this bike is for my chick, and she likes the boys tank bikes more then the girls. first its going to be striped down to bare metal. i have a new pair of monark forks and new rims and tires that is going on it. a buddy has a nirve 3 speed switchblade with disc brake in front. the monark forks will take a disc. it will get a very girlie paint job on it. it will be like a guy in a dress. does any one have any good tips on removing over spray on vinyl. i have a seat i never used but it had over spray on it.

Paint thinner might work.' I used this seat on my wifes bike

Should be a nice build. As far as removing overspray from a vinyl seat I would suggest trying alcohol first. If that don't work you can try some finger nail polish remover or something stronger. If you have an old junk seat you can test the nail polish remover to make sure it won't melt the vinyl. I would keep a wet rag handy to wipe it off with.

it was a rainy day today so not much done today. swapped out the front end and the wheels. this is a very heavy bike. i'm going to swap out the cranks and sprocket for an easier ride. it will be pink and black. and i don't know if i'll keep the monark forks on it. i hope to get a nirve switchblade 3 speed for a buddy in the next few weeks. if i get it i;m taking the wheels and making the western flyer a 3 speed with disc brakes. should turn out cool. here are a few picks of it so far.

mineral spirts won't hurt vinyl , may or may not take the overspray off , anything stronger will eat the vinyl
