OK, gonna throw my hat in the ring.
This build is for my daughter, nothing radical is planned, just a cool one-of-a-kind bike to get her around the neighborhood.
When I asked her what style bike she wanted, she said “I don’t know, show me some pictures”. So I showed her pics of classic full-fendered cruisers with tanks, “hmm..those are nice, what else you got?” Then came photos of musclebikes, same reaction…then choppers…..
So, in the end the bike will have elements of all three styles.
Don’t want to give away too much yet, but, here’s some of the parts I’m starting with:
1972 Schwinn Lil’ Chik frame
NOS Shimano 333 Twistgrip
Bantam chainguard
Some 20” alloys
some mini apehangers
donor fork from this
Pretty boring so far,huh? Well, the next batch of parts will hopefully take it up a notch!
Cheers,
Dr. T
