Ok here's the story...
My wife really dont ride much, I built her this bike a couple years ago...
But she really didnt like riding it, she said it was heavy, and hard to pedal, so I hung it up and pretty much forgot about it. Fast forward to a couple months ago... For some reason she hopped on my Indian Scout bike...
And rode it to the post office and she really liked it, said it was actually fun to ride! ever since then she has been riding it quite a bit, I actually got her to ride the local bike path with me which is seven miles round trip!
So I figured I needed to find her a Indian Princess bike so I can have my Scout back. Member Highship had a perfect candidate and a trade deal was struck, I recently received the Princess and will strip it down and build it back up to match my Scout.
I am currently looking for a Weinmann 519 wheelset, 700c x 35 with 36 holes. These are found on lower end Raleigh's of the 90's
look like this...
Follow along with the build, I currently have most of the chrome parts cleaned up, and I have the paint striped off of the frame, and will be spraying primer here soon.
Thanks for checking it out!
