Electra Bicycle Pics

[151proof]

So about a year ago I cannibalized this straight 8 to build another bike. I had some spare parts laying around and some other stuff Im not using at the moment. Decided I wanted to build this bike back up with a fresh new look...

Before:

After:

Still have to get a new seat/seatpost clamp, chain and lights!

She's not the prettiest or the most tricked out Electra but I love her just the same.

Here is my modified Electra Straight 8, now known as "8-Ball".
Not so much of a Rat Rod, but an awesome rig to take on long cruiser rides.
My two Miniature Pinschers (Maximus and Lucilla) ride in the custom basket that I hand fabricated.

Picked this up at a local lbs, was $300 off.

Anyone have a lead on the front tray?

Thanks

Here is my Straight 8

Now, I want to pimp it up a little bit. Yesterday I bought an original Electra front light and a travelling bag for the front handlebar.
I have a problem with fixing the front light to the bike. Maybe someone of you could help me with that upgrade. I would like to fix the light to the bike like on the picture below:

How can I do that ? Is ist a custom solution ? Who could do that for me ?

Got this beat up mess on craigslist for $100



Here it is for now... still have a LOT to do. Rear rack, grips, stick shift... and a chain I guess! I'll post up when it's finished.

I have the hardest time choosing tires for builds... these seemed to fit the bill for me perfect. I really like them so far.

Nice ride... really like the overall color scheme. Looks nice together.
