If you build one for the lady, they might understand.

If you are obsessed with bikes and sometimes neglect the time you could be spending with a wife or girlfriend or even friends, build them a bike to ride (youre gonna build one anyway) so they can possibly gain an understanding and appreciation for what you do. If that doesnt work, then get divorced, split up, or punch your friend in the face cause they are obviously dumb.

Heres my 60s western flyer eight ball project without the fenders and my girlfriends 60s western flyer that I built up for her to cruise around the lakes with me on Monday cruise nights. Yeah, we have an understanding.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, my camera took a crap.

The Western Flyer looks great.

You really had to shoe horn those wide tires under those fenders.

I lucked out with some super straight original wheels and tubes didnt bulge out the new balloon tires like they usually do, just a little bit anyway. Custom fenders on the men western are the same fit. Love that look. I picked up the mens in a 3 for $50 deal and sold one of them for $50 so basically two free bikes. the womens juvenile i picked up for 10 bucks. good deals.

I built the Blue Bunny Bike (Samsco) for my girlfriend over a year ago... she hasn't ridden it yet. Any day now it's getting sold.

Too bad. That's a great looking bike.

That bunny bike is awesome. You dont see the layback posts that often on the juvie/ womens frame but that looks great. Good job on the build. Sorry to hear that its not being ridden. I would sell it and buy a kegerator for the shop.

Nice looking bikes

Yup, getting the other half involved is a great idea. But Im not building her a bike, we've got a pair of bikes that we're going to build together at the same time, and the plan is for her to do as much of the work as she can (with some guidance and assistance obviously). That way when people say "thats a cool bike" she can be like "yep, and I stipped it down, repainted it and rebuilt all myself"
