'GRASSHOPPER' FINISHED

[Funkme]

Considering everyone has put 2-3 builds in, I am also going to add to this list.

I have so many half built bikes, and this is the build off to finish them off...

I have 2 folding shoppers,so will enter them both.
This one is a Italian Dino 20"

I don't want to spend any money(except on paint). I have a lot of bike junk laying around, so will try and see what I can do with it.

I'd like to do a folding bike someday. Be watching this and taking notes....

They seem to be able to be turned into anything.
Very fun bikes.

This will be cool!

So no thrills or spills with this bike. It will just be a 20" fixie (mixie racer).
Colors: Green with brown seat and grips and cream tires/pedals.
Try to get the chrome all cleaned up if I can...
Manage to get the bars off another bike that was all seized up.
And some extra bits and bobs off this.
Basic thing is just strip it and paint it.

Looks cool with those drop bars on it!

Started stripping the frame down.
As it is now.

Ready to sand and spray.
Been cleaning the chrome to try and get rid of as much rust.

Before

After

Best I can do. As there is a lot of pitting.,in the bars,but the wrap should cover that issue.

Wheels are next.

Like the vintage clean look of this build Funk. And the drop bars.....

That is a very Funk-y bike with the dropped bars. Strange but very cool looking. All set to race from the marina to the bar.

Sanded back the frame,and started to paint.
Undercoat.

The color.

The old decal (old muscle bike style)

And some new decals.

Nice work on those stickers!
Did you get them made or do it yourself?

I need to find something like that here in the states, those folders are so cool and have limitless possibilities.
