still a long way to go

Just a few pics @ dusk w / the lights on.

I took a chance with my first build and mounted my Angle Fire Grubee Skyhawk on a new Schwinn Windwood Cruiser. I didn't want to waste a new motor on rusty old bike and it looked like even used cruisers were in the $100+ range in nice shape, so I decided to splurge a little more and and spent $150 (with free shipping) for a new Windwood. Luckily, I didn't ruin anything! I spent lots of time on this site whenever a challenge came up. Still tweaking things like chain adjustments, but she fired right up and looks awesome! I'll upgrade better quality pics soon. These pics were taken with my cell phone. Notice the Schwinn Decal on the color matched tank. A few bucks for a roller can and $5.00 for two decals found on Ebay and Wow! What a difference! For less than $350 total invested, I now have a fun and unique toy to run through the neighborhoods. Can't wait to show off at the coffee shop! Thanks guys, for all your great posts. Couldn't have done it without Motoredbikes.com and its members!

My mother-in-law found this bike at a tag sale for $10. She bought it and my daughter loved it. It had warped rims beyond truing and pulled spokes, major rust and very weathered paint. But my daughter loved it. She picked the paint and told me what she wanted....the only thing I did not deliver on were the training wheels. She agreed that she should learn without them now, so we are both excited about that. She also told me that she loves it more now......she wanted it different and Daddy made it how she wanted it. (I have saved paint for the inevidable touch up's)

These are photos of a 1941Huffman balloon bike. I am planning on restoring this bike to its original color which was sea mist green with orange pin striping. There is alot of rust as you can see. But mostly superficial A good sand blasting should be fine.

These are the current project i have running complete and incomeplete . Hope fully have a good collection finished soon .

These are a few pics of my current build, but not up to date...yet. It's my second personal build, my first was a 66cc 2-stroke on a similar aluminum framed Ridgedale beach cruiser. I like them both very much, but the 4-strokes are the way to go (as much as I hate too say it). Cheers!

We've built & sold 59 so far in 3 years....
