My son is into anything Army related so he asked if we could build an army themed bike. He helped with the build, I finished it up and gave iot to him on his sixth B-day.
I got the bones of an early fifties Murray 20" ballooner from another forum member OZ. the wheels and the skip tooth drivetrain are original to the bike. I also dug up a long spring juvenile saddle from my pile and recovered it in black leather.
Here is the parts pile after I sandblasted everything.
After a generous application of rattle can green.

Here is Seth standing at attention like a good soldier :mrgreen:
