i had this bike in the bike builds under the name drag queen but never really did any thing. i'm changing the name to my girfriends initials (it's her bike) and entering it in to the build off. i'm going to the long beach motorcycle and bicycle swapmeet next week to pick up a few things and i'll know then what shades of color i'm going with. it will be pink and black. i want to find a set of pink tires and grips and do a paint match. it started off as a 1996 western flyer repop. i took the frame to a sandblaster and blasted the rest of the parts at my work. i took the monark forks apart and blasted part of it. i have a few sets of rims what ever set i use they will be sandblasted and painted. i have some bondo work to do and a lot of sanding ahead of me.
here are the before pic when i first brought it home.
