Re: Mag Ray, 22Dec11 Its Done
Hey Thanks a lot guys!
Went for a shakedown ride today, wanted to make sure it was ready
Must have been pretty silly seeing a 50 year old crunch down or standing up on a 20" bike :lol:
Took it to Longfellow Community gardens with the oak trees
Then down to the Mississippi River
Here is kinda a artsy one
Was sweating by the time I got home, my poor knees :lol:
Gotta adjust the rear hub a bit but otherwise it felt really solid on ice, snow, and grass
Had to do the Christmas tree shots
Closeup on my brilliant detail work with a sharpie :lol:
He's getting it tomorrow but I was promised a ride with the little guy later this week
Think I'll take the Spaceliner
One more...
Happy Holidays and Thanks for looking

Thanks all you guys, great comments , I'm glad you like it
And the little guy does too!
He flipped his leg over the banana seat like a pro!
Think he was hoping to go for a ride, hence the gorilla helmet
But he had more stops with more relatives so its staying put for a few days so I can help him a bit
Don't think he's going to have any problem going fast, but stopping and stabilizing the bike may take some practice
Gave him a picture of his bike and my Spaceliner and told him we would take our cool bikes for a cruise in a couple of days
He seemed pretty jazzed, Awesome day!

This is cool you put a big smile on his young face and put new life in an old bike, it don't get any better than that.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for all the posts, Was showing the little guy them today
, hope he has great times on it. I still remember my Murray Eliminator at 10...
Thanks for all the great comments, you guys have made this fun!
Went for a ride, kinda, he can reach the pedals pretty good but the climbing on/off may need some time
He's got enough power so he's going to be fast!
Kids "grow like weeds" so we're gonna wait for him to get a bit taller, told him to eat his vegetables, hope that works :lol:
Promised a ride together with our muscle bikes. Got the bug with this one so am going to try another
Got a Jerald slick for my wife's 26" bike with springer yesterday, can't wait to all ride together

Re: Mag Ray, 28Dec11 He rides, kinda
I missed the finale of this story until now. Great ending to a great build! Hopefully we can see more photos of the little guy enjoying his ride through the year.

Hey Everybody,
Well Mag Ray is still too big for the little guy so I got him a transitional bike
It fits him better for now and was a bit worried he would have some porblems going from this 12" bike
to a 16" OCC Sting Ray
He took off on it like a manic! He is getting used to the steering but no fear
He was yanking on the handlebars trying to pedal as hard as he could :lol:
He was doing about 12mph in this shot right after he jumped off a curb
He'll get to Mag Ray soon enough. Mag Ray will be lighter and turn faster and he'll be even faster :lol:
Sure glad he likes the OCC chopper for now.
Thanks for looking
Steve
