Very nice job! Your little girl is going to have a unique gift and life long fond memories of her zebra bike! All the rest of us dads need to take note!

Hey guys,

For those of you following this little thing what are your thoughts on the fir tank insert. The cool thing is that not only do I think it looks great it's got a soft texture. My wife seems a little unsure thats why I ask.

the more zebra in there, the more shes going to love it.

Looks great! Get some Duplicolor rattle can upholstery color and do the seat!

Sweet bike. I love kids bike builds. I think because I like building them. Nothing better than a stoked kid. :mrgreen:
I don't think I'd do the tank, but i think upholstering the seat with it would be awesome.

 

[icyuod2]

love it, its cute as heck.

 

[Half Link]

I really like that look!!! You have my vote Bro!! Hope that doen't make Momm'a mad. :shock:

 

[marcusthemoose]

get another seat and trim it in the zebra print- that will be unique

Thanks all for your opinions. As far as the fir insert some likey some don't. Hmmmm tough call. Anyway check out the added touch to the front end of the frame and steer tube. Kind of adds that old school look. I did the same thing to the chain guard but it's not done as I need to repaint after wet sanding it. This thing should be complete soon.

 

[Half Link]

That look's really good! Your right on with that old school look. 8) Can't wait to see how the chain guard looks!

 

[legburner]

well it's almost finished. Here's some picts. A few more finishing touches and its complete.

I definitely feel proud for sure. No kickstand at this point cause I'm putting on training wheels. I'm painting them today as well as installing a basket and a bell. I'm working on a different seat for it that will flow nicely and give it that classic look.

It'll be a sad day when she out grows it. I think I'll hang it up on display when that day comes. Maybe in my family room. :shock:
