My Baby's schwinn

[chimichanga]

This is a new bike i am going to build for my girlfriend. I'm going to paint it a navy blue and cream with some red pinstripping. I forgot to take a picture of the fenders. Also the wheels I will paint them, which are coming off a JC Higgins I will pick up tommorow. So far right now I began sanding down the bike. Here's a few pictures.

Nice frame. Are you going to redo those white stripes? They are cool looking

They are cool looking but I am going to do something different.

Believe me I wanted too! I am tired of pink but my girlfriend wanted it so i had to do pink. Oh well I want to add some white pearl or another color because it looks tooooo plain

Its a custom pink color with pearl. I also added a little bit of red hok kandy concentrate which made it come out just right
