Pee Wee X1 Part II

[MattBiker]

Well it's time for a new project. I sold my original Pee Wee Bicycle and I miss it. What I didn't like about it was - it was very heavy, and I had no way to haul it. I worried about it getting knocked over too. I have come up with a new idea and I am excited about it!

What if Pee Wee joined up with a modern bicycle manufacturer? They could make an XI edition. That's what I'm going to build. I just bought a new cruiser from ebay. I found one that is all red and the seller claims it has removeable decals. Technically it is a girls bike, but that doesn't bother me, because a lot of bikes now have step-through frames. I was lucky to find a bike with a wide "tank".

I want a bike I can ride down the street, not have a huge amount of money in it, and light enough to put on the back of my car.



I'll post more photos and mods as I progress.

It'll be cool to see what you do with this modern 'tank' bike.

Build on,brutha!

My new bicycle arrived! Very happy with it, no damage and the paint is super. It is Pee Wee Herman (Ferrari) Red. I have already removed the decals from one side of the tank and from the chain guard. I added the signature arrow to the chainguard. Made it out of white vinyl tape from the hardware store. I picked up a tiger head squeeze horn online. Pretty cool for around $7 plus shipping. I should have named this project "Pee Wee's Bike on a Budget".





I found some red and white tassles. I believe I am going to create a white insert for the tank out of white sign vinyl.

We'll see how it goes.
