Looking good!
 
I shot a trio of photos to give an idea of the size of this 1953 Lincoln 20" cruiser

It's next to Zombies Dream a 26/20 flip bike and a nice 26" step thru Columbia.

So hard to get an idea of scale when it is by itself...
Truth. At some point I'll probably post a pic with some tape measures laid out and maybe a pic of me on it. ;)

I still want to see the shot with the 'Sunday school dropout' looking tough on the mini muscle!
 
For you numbers guys...
Frame size 13" center of BB to top of seat tube. Highest point of the frame from the ground is 22" and wheelbase with triple tree fork is 38.5" axle to axle, seat and chain stays are roughly 13" too. Fork tubes were cut down to 17" total.

A part came in the mail today. It lifts the seat more than I wanted but it's growing on me. Better pics tomorrow... Also no banana, trust me it's for the best.

No need to cut anything... I have a bent solid post and other seats... A couple I didn't take pics of. The vintage seat is just a bit too big and that is too bad cuz the two tone looks cool. So I'm leaning on the modern seat, but I'm just not sure about which post. I'd like it low for my original vision but the chrome does pop...
What do you think? Oh and I think I'll be using the bars @CRASH sold me long ago...

That is one bad apple, if you can fit on it. That bike has got to come with a pack of smokes to roll up in your shirt sleeve, regardless of the calls to child protective services.

I think you've got it with the rivet saddle and the low position post. As much as I like the chrome on the other seat post, your overall look is much better with the low post. And you have plenty of chrome to make it 'shine' as it is.

The little guy is shaping up nicely. Although, even the baddest of kids start to 'shape up' (as my dad said to us, many times) this time of year in hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.....

I'm loving the brawny street fighter look of this one! I can picture a pint size version of The Fonz sitting on it.

Given the scale of the bike, the adult size saddle looks long enough to meet the requirements of being a banana seat. Just needs a sissy bar to complete the look.:cool2:

LOVE the way the sissy meets up with the seat... somehow it just looks right.

edit: wait what? I guess I wasn't paying attention to who was posting and whose project it is. You 'shopped that in there? Impressive. :thumbsup:
