gender reassignment BACK FROM THE DEAD!

[necessaryevil]

I had an old girl's lightning flyer frame laying around, so I decided to do some surgery. I cut out all the girl parts and welded in the boy parts. I guess that's the easiest way to put it. I don't know what direction this build will go, but I want something very unique and different.

Re: gender reassignment

I saw a boardtracker in it also, started making a cardboard templet for an Elgin type hanging tank. I'm trying to track down some creme felt tires and possibly a single spring monark springer. I hope to have it done for the spring rat ride.

Re: gender reassignment

I finally figured out colors for the bike (don't laugh at my illustration!) Just orded some monark springers, creme felt tires, and new bars (a million thanks to Curtis at Chain Gang Lowrider) Whenever I get a good couple of days I hope to get everything mocked up and start painting.

Re: gender reassignment

Should be cool. I like the colors you chose. Is the orange going to make it on there somewhere? Maybe as a pinstripe around the aqua but, leave a line of creme between the two.

Re: gender reassignment UPDATE

Finally got my parts so that I can mock everything up. I still have a lot of fabricating to do, but this is pretty much how it will look. Wheels are finished, frame and fork will be a very light bland yellow.
