Hi! I am brand new here and this is my first old bike. I got it on craigslist for $40 and i want to clean it up, make it pretty and ride it.
I apologize now for my total lack of bike lingo and knowledge but don't hold it against me, i have good intentions and I am REALLY excited!
Let's see if i can post links...

ya like the color? :shock:
It says Elgin 531-10 on the doohicky between the rear wheel and chain guard. It has a stamped number on the piece between the hub thing between the pedals, i'll turn it over and get that later. If any of you can ID my awesome new bike that'd be great! also trying to figure out what's original on it and what's not. i know it's a girly bike so not worth $$ but it's for me to ride
I put some new tires on last night and was so excited I rode around the street in my pajamas at midnight!! What a FUN bike to ride! It was great! then the chain came off Now I don't want to do my mommy jobs this morning, i want to go in the garage and play with my new toy! lol
where i can get the right kind of tires/tubes. I got these universal 26" tires & tubes that say they fit 2.125 but they are obviously smaller than what was on it.
