Here is a 24" bike I am working on now. I am going to go with a metalflake gold and black theme. not sure what kind of bike it is but am researching it now. It's a craigslist find and is pretty rusty. We'll see how it goes.

Re: Chico Build
Looks like it could be a J.C. Higgins or poss a Rollfast. Chain guard is off a Shelby. Hope this helpsZumo said:
Re: Chico Build Update 11/7
I worked on the bike a little today. I tore it down completely and tried mocking it up a little bit on how I want. Again, it's a Shelco 24" Beach Cruiser, from India I am guessing? Not much on the net about them other than http://shelcobike.com/ web site.
I took the forks off a kids size 18" Stingray. They almost fit perfect. The threads on the headset tube are about 1/4 inch too short. The need to stick out so you can bolt the top part of the forks brace on it. I think I am going to cut it in the middle and graft a new piece in, we'll see. The fender is a front fender off a 26" cruiser. The cranks are 3 piece diamond back. I will need a new sprocket too. The handle bars are SE and the rims are off and SE 24" bike too. the seat will be set back further than that. Since this is a 24" bike it will be hard for someone over 5ft to rid this thing but we'll see.
The bike will be Metal flek gold frame with all other hardware black. Tires will be white wall balloon type.
That's all for now.
