This is my girlfriend's bike:
She's away this week, getting back early next. Hmmm....
I like that!
... a few minutes later, out at the shop:
I found a 24x1-3/8 front wheel and tire for it. the donor bike that's off has a matching tire that I might put on the back. I don't typically like skinwall tires, but seeing it on there has it growing on me for this colour scheme. If I pinstripe in matching colours it might look nice. Otherwise I will go buy a new pair of blackwalls.
spaced the seat off the fender a bit. Looks better I think. this leaves a sissy bar length of 14" center to center, which I'll fab up out of flat aluminum. you wouldn't think it's strong enough, but I've done another bike that way, and it worked out great.
I have been saving this light for something. I assume it's a pretty rare piece to have intact. off a 70's peugeot 10 speed. It looks SO good on here, so I might have to use it. In this picture I also have some better old pedals put on.
my garage is a mess right now. leave me alone :lol:
well, finishing a late lunch and back out there...
