American Red Cross

Postby MattBiker on Sun May 06, 2012 9:15 pm

Well I can't stand it anymore. I have to join in. This will be my first Build-Off. I have been admiring all the work for years. I have been a fan of the military drab green/blacked out bicycles for a long time. They remind me of the old Harley-Davidsons. I could build one of these, but I have a Monark women's frame that has given me an idea.

I think it would be cool to do an American Red Cross themed bicycle. Hope it hasn't been done before. The ladies and men of this organization definately deserve one. I have decided I am going to build a fictional "barn find". A "Wow, where did you find that!" bicycle. Of course it will be rideable. I'm thinking a white bicycle but we'll see.

I have fenders, sprocket/crank and chain guard on the way.

I love the idea, I imagine a little nurse's cap on the steering wheel, haha.

You bike will have to hit the field after mine has gone out there and made a mess of things! Pull this off, and we could have an awesome photo op together.

Yes great theme. Very original!! And you still get to dabble with a military theme at the same time, kinda.

There are still plenty of girls bikes out there, and I figure some men's bikes have step-through frames now days.
I will have to do a count to see how many there are this round.

I guess I'm a lover not a fighter. Ha Ha! Awesome VW!!!!!

Just thinking here, I have 2 WCC Jesse James choppers here, each one has an "iron cross" headbadge. Could you use take one and paint it to use as a red cross headbadge? Let me know, one's a spare.

Yoothgeye, if my history is correct, didn't the U.S. fight the Germans in WWII? Are you trying to get me shot?

Less competition :lol:

Haha, my military bike will have US stuff on it, but the blackout light is German I believe and I think I'm keeping the iron cross on mine, so it will be confused, but I was just thinking, it's still available to you, maybe allied forces joined with Red Cross? haha
