Hello all. Here's my first attempt at showing what my bikes. Let me know what you think.

The black cruiser is (from what i was told) a Murray Sportcrest. If you could ID it as something else, I'd like to hear your opinion. I have some close-up pics at Flickr, if you're curious.

The pink one is a Legran banana seat. $13 at the Costa Mesa swap meet! Then, of course, I had to get the new fork, the Apes and the 144 spokes.

Just last week I hooked up this Harley-Davidson fog lamp

Since the lamp is from a motorcycle it's a 12 volt. I tried connecting it to my little 6v generator on the front tire, but not enough juice so for now it's kinda jerry-rigged. I got two 6 volts in series (you can see them above the chain guard in 1 pic) with an alligator-clip on/off switch. haha. I want to rewire it, so I plan to put a 12v moto battery on at that point.

(I'm also workin' on a suicide brake lever for it too. .... I wish I could weld!)
