so first before anyone goes crazy the frame we started with is just a regular lowrider frame not a schwinn frame cut the seat tube and made a wooden insert sanded it and stained today and also painted it navy blue let me know what u guys think i think its comeing alog pretty good

heres how it started

after cuting the seat post

stripping the paint and with the wooden insert

now after paint and hanging on our spray paint tree all the colors its such a nice tree

You've not only created a pair of awesome bikes but some fantastic childhood memories right there. My daughter still remembers her pink chrome fendered pixie cruiser that I built her and she was 5! She still talks about it at 21.
