Courtneys Custom Cruiser...

[patkeo]

For those that were following this bike in the builds section... my daughter Courtney asked me for a cruiser like mine... but she wanted to pick the colors and options herself. ALRIGHT!!!!!!!
From this...a nasty pile of rusted parts we picked up locally for free off craigslist...

To this.....

The best compliment I could ever get... a happy kid with her new bike....

Ride like the wind kid!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone know where I can find a set of 26 inch pink wheels so I can get my tires back????

Looks great. You wanting pink wheels or pink wall tires?
I've bought pink wheel sets from here before but the rear hubs are junk! http://www.bikebuyers.com/parts.htm#wheel

It's hard to believe it's been 5 years since we did this build. She asked for a new paint job and wants it all flat black now. I told her to tear it down and I would take it to work and blast it and paint it flat black. With a little help she got it all apart so I'll start blasting and prepping it for it's next life as a flat black cruiser! Stay tuned!!!

Bike is apart and looking among all the parts we have for everything to change to all black...

Everything stripped down in the sandblaster and into primer and flat black paint.

Primer primer and sanded and primer...

An old black seat cleaned and painted...

Getting closer to everything painted black...

Frame finally painted...

Starting it's next life as a Flat Black "stelth" cruiser...
