Today got paint kind of done. Needs touch up done to it and stuff like that. Other wise looks great and rides smooth.
Had one problem I was biking around a big parking lot with my friend when the chain popped. I looked down at the rear tire only to find the rear gear/sprocket which ever one you...

Nice bike by a great bike company. Love the "It's not pretty but its fun." sounds like a lot of my bikes :lol:
Re: Big Blue ( First ever re-build)
First tube was the old tube. The next one the old tire was dry rotted and ripped open and then the tube blew up with a loud bang. The third I ran something over. As for the chain I shorted it and it worded so thanks for that :idea: It also rides smoother...
Re: Big Blue ( First ever re-build)
5/2 Took seat apart and painted flat black. Then friend came over and sanded down most of the front fender and part of the body. Painted rear fender and chain guard blue. The last thing added was a new chain that's a little to long but if I take a link out...
Re: Big Blue ( First ever re-build)
4/28 It did not ride too badly in the afternoon so I worked on the bike some. First got rust off of pegs and painted them flat black and gloss true blue :D . So the bike with have gloss true blue base coat with flat black detailing once paints all off :mrgreen:
Re: Big Blue ( First ever re-build)

Re: Big Blue ( First ever re-build)
Yea because your great with sanding the paint down I can't say focus when I do that. Hopefully tomarrow is nice out :|
Re: Big Blue ( First ever re-build)
4/23 Got more paint for the bike. I had four cans of spray can paint that is until my friend shot an arrow into the can and it blew up. So down to three cans, but that's still a good amount. Also removed some more of the old paint
Re: Big Blue ( First ever re-bulid)
Thanks. When I got it, it didn't have anyway of looking it up because someone had pained over everything
4/22 Got new chain for the bike and chain breaker.
Re: Big Blue ( First ever re-bulid)
4/20 It did not storm like the weather said it would :D . So I biked 16 miles and got a tire to match the front tire. So tomorrow it should no longer have a flat tire. Also I'm going to leave the chain guard red because it look great red on blue.
