My first build off. Was planning to join the skinny bike, but looking through my parts and this idea came together which fits off road better.
The frame is a 1960s Heavy Duti. ( is it still a Heavy Duti after I strip it down? Or is it now just a cantilever?)
The forks and wheels were salvaged from a mountain bike with a cracked frame.
The plan is to add a faux tank painted to look like a ladybug head. Add these old headlamps as eyes. Cranks, bars, kickstand all black to look like legs and antennae.
Still a lot of details to figure out.
