Thank you :) Very weird...I haven't been on here in a while and I saw the date of your comment is exactly one year ago today! And guess what...I got a new bike to play with today ;) from Goodwill :P

I finally got to go for a decent ride on this bike and had a great time.

that was me :) thanks for the link, yeah - right now I am excited to ride it. i saw the teardrop pedals for 30 bux on ebay. I probably won't do anything with it for a little while then I'll do the little details

thanks.yes, that's a great tutorial. i tried my similar idea and it was awful lol So i will probably do that once I find the right beads. I do like those teardrop pedals too though. they aren't too expensive and I think they'd be fitting as far as the big bag 'o glitter... it's more common...

Thanks Elmer :D The sparkle finish turned into a craftastic glitter-pocolypse. I don't know if the garage will ever be the same! i started with a flat white base (i think krylon anti-rust whatever) then i got an indoor/outdoor glitter paint that I planned to do multiple coats of, then a...

thank you :D

:shock: guess i'm a flaky kinda chick LOL

why don't you just ask her what she likes? show her some bikes on here. Or... what kind of cars does she like, favorite tv show, nostalgic for a certain era? a purple bike with a velvet seat? that make me think of Bootsy Collins - I'd make myself a Funk Mobile :P Bootsy... Here's the bike I...

I finally finished my first bike and had SO much fun! The bike is about 70 years old and I got it on craigslist but it was UGLY when I brought it home and needed some work. Now, it's really a Girly Bike lol It's got a subtle theme some may like, some may hate and maybe some may like in an...

thanks guys. I went to a bike shop that used to be a Schwinn store. They were like "what's that?" when he saw my seatpost lol and was kind of reluctant like "THey don't make anything that will fit that, I don't have anything just laying around" Grumble Grumble. We talked a bit and he went and...

well that would be simple enough LOL except that the old seat didn't have a horseshoe! I guess that's a piece i can buy or look for, thanks for that info. The seat i have has ridgy circles with a lip and a bunch of washers, i guess it was just rigged up but worked. So, anyone have that piece I...

how are you going to attach that seat to the laidback post? that's the prob i am trying to solve tonight. Your bike looks awesome by the way :) That looks like a modern saddle, right? edit: oh nevermind, i googled and saw there are all kinds of laid back seat posts. i have this ancient 7 style...
