This project first began with a 50's JC Higgins.
I was going to make a board track style bike, but then changed ideas, I had a blue Dayton frame that was bent, we spent a couple hours with the blow torch trying to straighten the frame, our attempt was unsuccessful, so my dad gave my another Dayton frame. I love the OG paint bikes, so I'm keeping the paint normal, here are pictures.
Here is the bare frame
Here I added both rims and tires, and also the crank and chainring which is Higgins.
At this point I have added a sweeeeeett set of bars, white waffle pedals and a seat.
Now here's something none of you have probably ever seen, a golf ball kickstand!!!!
Now I took a front fender and a tin snips and cut the fender to give it a "bobbed" look, also added two other things, if you noticed in the front wheels, yes those are license plates, and finally added part of the back fender to the front just as an ornament/fender.
Since these pictures have been taken, I have added more and more unique items to the bike.
