So I painted the frame for my son’s 26” Stranger Things build, and since it’s so humid, I’m going to wait several more hours before fooling with it. In the meantime, I was fooling around with a super secret squirrel build I haven’t made a thread about yet, and in doing mockups, I had a couple bikes sitting next to each that that were just begging to be blended to together. ‍♂️

I had this Rollfast:

Sitting next to this Shelby:

I saw white pedals, white seat, whitewalls, white rims, and just figured they’d all look good on one bike. So I snatched the wheelset off the Shelby and put them on the Rollfast and then went and found a set of bars with a white grips - and viola! - one junker bike with some cool parts on it.

I feel like I’ll end using this frame for a muscle bike build at some point, but for now, I’ll use it for a yard beater keep it under my carport without worrying about moisture and dust getting on it like I do my nicer bikes.
 
My eventual plan is to build a 26” version of a Rollfast Skoot or Smoothie from this frame. I love the top bar design.
