his & hers higgys

[beatcad]

hello friends. i havent posted in a long time because i've been mostly working on motorsickles.
last summer a co-worker asked me to fix up these bikes. theyve been in my backyard for so long and she never gave me a dime.
about a month ago she moved onto another gig. she never asked me if i will fix up these bikes or not.
oh, well.
i guess i'll build these to keep...maybe..

i wish i took a before pic of those bikes above. before i took that pic i cut off some locks and removed bent up baskets. front on the ladies and rears on the guys.
my orig plan was to replace the junky & rusty stuff. and just wet sand and buff and polish the orig paint and leave the rusty spots on the frame/fenders/chaingaurds.
since last summer i've been buying new parts for them(chains/pedals/bars/grips)
this weekend i stripped them a little more

i polished the stems yesterday.

today i buffed & polished all the head tube hardware and soaked & cleaned the bearings.

one of the head badges is painted over and one is missing.
i'm pretty sure i have an extra in my parts bin

these were done pretty much 2 months ago except for one seatpost that was on backorder. i couldve made something, but i wanted everything to match.
i finished 'em up this weekend.
not super exciting, but i think the owner will be happy.
