I got bored and decided to pull out my wifes childhood mountain bike from the shed. It's a 90's 24" Elagante Nice Cycle. Right away I noticed the tires were as solid as rocks and it's been in one spot hanging for at least 15 years that I know of. My first thought was that it had to be stretched and lowered so I began planning ideas in my head and drawing out plans. I decided on a coffin shape and instead of just laying the seat post back I cut the top of the rear forks and bent them up to the post which also lowered the rear. Here's what I started with and some mock ups. The plan is to leave all the patina on the bare metal. Let me know what you think so far and suggestions are always welcome.
