The Perfect Blend

[thebigorangecat]

Every time, while the process of sourcing parts for my build off project, I always end up with lots of donor bikes and excess “stuff”, so why not find a way to get ratty with all of that. A pile of parts and frames left me with this great patinaed, black and white Hiawatha Meteor Chief frame and nothing to do with it. Now along comes this CL ad for a girls Electra I don’t need, but it’s so minty I grab it. Ohh wait, the wheels match my out of true set on the Klunker 2.0 and girls frames are just so hard to sell, part it out? No, build the Chief!

Think I’m spending more time shooting and editing photos than building this bike.
