Ok, after reading and following many, many builds on this site I finally decided to get into the mix and actually document a "build". I figured I might as well join the build off at the same time! I have been thinking about joining in but just couldn't find a frame or idea that I wanted to go with. I am happy with all my current rides so re-building one of them wasn't an option. My wife gets upset any time I even talk about re-doing her ride so that was out as well. I just got a 12" for my little girl, but figured that would be tough to prove rideable for the build off and then I found this:
Huffy built Shamu themed cruiser

found it on craigslist for $50 and talked the guy down from there :mrgreen:
The same day I was at home depot and found a new (at least to me) paint color and figured it was a sign, I had to go with it then.
So, I decided to build a mini-stretch. Pretty much the ride my son would have if I had a son, which I don't, I have a little girl and this is her current ride:

or sometimes this:

now some of you sharper folks might have noticed a color theme there that also follows through on my wifes ride as well :?
However, I want to build this one more like my current favorite bike:

This build won't be pink! and will follow the Kingfish theory of "mo fatta, mo betta!"
Here are some of the parts:

should be fun!!

following along with kingfish's theory, mo fatta, mo betta
and yootheguy should be safe, I don't have a bunny to take pics of but my daughter is pretty darn cute and I will not hesitate to use her if I think it will help!! :mrgreen:
 
Never knew they had a Shamu Huffy.
Looking forward to seeing what MO FATTA MO BETTA ride you come up with from that great pile of parts.
Of course with the new 75 character signature rule, I no longer have any room for any cool slogans anymore. :cry:
