Ok gonna try this...

The red and black was a long project that I learned on. Spent to much cash on it. Won't do that again.

The blue is a freebe.

The Black and white is a craigslist find. 25.00 bike.

Thanks for looking.

Nice find on the Cruiser 7. wheels and 7spd hub worth everypenny of that 25$.

That was a screamin deal on that Cruiser 7....I love the 7 speed hubs.

Cool bikes!

Thanks. Any suggestions on what to do with the Basket Case? I want to do something nice foe my wife.. She is kinda conservative. Doesnt like the flashy fru fru... So, I think I should leve the bike paint alone its fairly descent. Perhaps a new seat. Different handle bars, and grips. What about touch up paint? Any one ever done that?

your wifes bike I would leave the paint alone and clean up the rust on chrome. Make it comfy for her.

Here is my wife's bike. It was my first project. It also cost WAY too much. 18 bucks for the bike and $200+ later....My wife is conservative as well and liked how this turned out. Electra has some nice white seats that are super comfortable with matching grips. I am pretty pleased with how it turned out. I would say clean up the chrome, new matching seat and grips, spray the baskets and maybe some mini apes. Cheap and (relatively) easy.
