Thats for sure. I was looking at that little girls bike and whitewalls, white grips and white pedals just don't say BMX style bike to me. I had this seat down the basement and I think with the bars from the colt this could be a very cool little bike. It's like there's some strange force at work that won't let me just throw a seat on it! :lol:

Your definitely on to something there! Lots of wide open space in my noggin' for those ideas to float in! :) and with a bobbed chrome fender in the back, that should do it. :roll: Did someone say headlight?
 
Hey like the saying goes one mans trash is anothers treasure. Nice finds
 
Well my wife's been working mega overtime which leaves me little time to work on bikes lately, but I did manage to get this one cleaned up, greased and adjusted. My wife works with a person who volunteers at a womens shelter. I gave the bike to her to give to one of the kids there for Christmas. The bike was practically new, still had the 'nubbies' on the tires.

I hope they give it to a girl, if they give it to some boy he's gonna hate my guts! Like that Johnny Cash song, 'A Boy Named Sue'. :lol:
 
If A BOY gets it, you have to promise, RIGHT NOW, to take it back and paint it BLACK! 8)
 
Maybe I should have thrown in a can of flat black rustoleum, just in case. :p
 
I forgot to post this pic of my Chief Pneaumatic Tire Tube Inspection Technician who participated in the refurbisment of the girls bike. Don't tell mom we did this in the kitchen sink! 8)

Did all Free Spirits come with that speedo ?

I looks like a common option, I found another ladies-framed bike similar to mine and it had the same speedo. I'm making an effort to not become an expert on Free Spirits :D
