As my "Never too late..." http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=40533 project is getting close to completion I felt it was time for another project. As the "Never too late..." bike could be considered a typical male bike maybe a girls bike would be appropriate this time. We are two of each in our family anyway so why not? Asked my daughter what color bicycle she would want and she ordered a pink bicycle with white/cream tires, black saddle and grips. She also said that I might paint some flames on it since I seem to like that... hmmm, kids...
Anyway, here we go.
Here´s what I am starting with:
What´s above is the remains of a 28" womans Crescent Swedish brand bicycle and the parts from it I am planning to use. The rear rim is shot and has to be replaced and that´s why there´s three rims in the pic.
The following parts has been ordered from different sources, mostly Ebay, local online shops and it´s all on its way:
A Suntour shifter
A front light
Pink pedals
Pink rear lights
Schwalbe Delta Cruiser tires
Electra grips
Electra saddle, unfortunately the seller of this saddle on Ebay didn´t ship worldwide, but I have a buddy living just outside Houston that helps me with this.
Looked at several pink girls/womans bicycles and so far i think this color combination is the best looking:
Gonna start working on this project as soon as the "Never too late..." is finished within a couple of days.

. We´ll see what I can come up with to solve that situation. The tires are definitely going on the bike no matter what.
