My Pixie Build...

[Clothespin n]

I have a small pile of Pixies...
but this one is my Fav.
I bought it a while back for less than $15.00
I fell in love with the Rear Frame curves...

It is from the Early 70's,
so The Plan for this is to make a cool Cruiser for my daughter...
maybe a Beach Bike Style.
I might put a piece of Teak or Oak where the rear Trap area is.

The Color scheme????...I'm not sure yet.

Peace,
Kev.

It is a one piece deal,

I'll convert it Yustin,
I have 4 or 5 more Donor Pixies.

This is one of those bikes I have been staring at...and trying to figure
out what style / Theme / Color I am doing...

It'll come to me in a Day Dream, :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
I'll post pic's as I go...

peace,
Kev.

I built one like that for my daughter. It was her first bike and she took it out on her birthday with no training wheels. It was painted fluorescent pink and she loved it.

I was thinking along those Lines Ricky...

I also have another Banana seater Pixie for her,
so I might keep this one a Cruiser style.

with the teak, this will be an AWESOME bike. i'd go for the baby blue and wood grain for sure. maybe a mini hula girl bobbin' on the back rack. grass skirt streamers, cork grips even BAMBOO, man id LOVE to do this bike.


awesome.


p.s. bamboo flagpole

I have a set of New Cork grips looking for a Bike to fit on......
great idea Basscadet.

And The bamboo......another cool idea!

I like the way the frame sweeps around to form the back rack. Needs Teak deck routered to allow some white caulk/pinstripes like a old wood boat. Shellac the crap out of the deck and make it glossy.

Great frame. Have Fun.

Cool little bike! It only needs those wire-thingies at the end of the handlebars (I think you call 'em streamers?), then it's done!

Almost...

Looking forward to see the result!

Neat little bike. I say orange with cream wheels or accents.

I just bought 5 cans of Satin 100% acrylic Orange Craft Paint at a Clearance center for 99 cents a spray bomb...

I'll look like my Station Wagon.. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

How about leaving the frame paint as-is, painting all the chrome pink, pink seat, grips, chain. Anythhing not painted blue, make pink. Pinkwall tires with a sliglty lighter tone than the wheels.

I fully endorse this course of action - this will one extra cool 'lil bike. Will it be a pixie racer or a pixie cruiser though? Hmmmmmm? Either way, your daughter will be rolling in style.

I am building a Pixie Cruiser,

it's for her....



I will build a Pixie Racer for myself,
but not with such a cool Olde bike. :wink:

 

[Multipass]

Cool, I look forward to seeing both of them.

Scary thing ---> This past weekend, I found myself in the 2nd hand shops looking for a 12" bike to pix-ify :shock:
