Finally found a mixte project, been wanting to do this, like every other one of my projects.

My girfriend's neighbor lost their house, and her dad let me know they had a bike. He called on it, and i ended up getting the bike
new tires, and some nice parts...but its too late to save now.

Dont know which direction im going with it, but heres some pictures
