Orange Blossom

[El C]

Maybe it´s time for me to enter also.
I´ve been thinking about it a few times but the categories where not suitable for me.

I have a few ideas about different bikes also but I decided to attend with "Orange blossom" because I have no name ideas for the others .

Here is the frame I´m starting with. Just a basic girls bike here in Finland. I guess it´s pretty easy to figure where the name came from...

Anyway, it´s gonna have some modifications...

Welcome to the build off. I hope you enjoy the fun... Good bones to start with.

Welcome aboard, glad you decided to join the fun! Looks like a great starting point, keep us posted as you build with progress photos and commentary. I believe you might be our first Finnish builder, at least this year.
You Fins are known for your fine craftsmanship, can't wait to see what you 'craft' here!

No new pics yet but started to disassemble. 7 times I took my tools out and just when started to work came the rain. Not happy...

Welcome to the fun! There are quite a few European builders this year. I am guessing around 10 or 12 so far.
I just looked back at the build you started last year in BO15 and I can tell that we are in for some fun cool stuff.

Just a quick mock up but you get the idea.

Woohah! I really like the flow and stance of this orange flipper!

I really wish I could weld. I want to be a bicycle flipper

Love flipped bikes. The stance is always much improved from the original.

Needed to change the position.

rear dropouts?

Seems there will be some steering flop because of the rake...
To mend or not to mend, that is the question..

Sorry, nothing to post on this build. I´ve been messing around with 2 other bike projects (and a dozen other than bike)...

The flipped lady frame looks awesome! I’m going to do this on an old Schwinn frame I have, but it’ll be a while before I can get to it due to too many projects and not enough time and $$$!
