Ok, so I caved in and started another 'Ray. This one is for the girlfriend though. The frame is an old lemon peeler 5 speed that I got in a trade. I blasted it about a year ago and it's been sitting ever since. My girlfriend saw a junker fair lady on craigslist that became the donor bike for most of the parts. She was excited to see what it would look like, so i threw it all on the frame and found out that the steer tube was much shorter on the boys frame. I've since replaced it with a correct fork. Sorry these are kinda bad pics, but I'll have better ones up tomorrow of what it looks like now.
She wants a Seafoam green/Cream two tone, so I found some Cream grips on ebay and she is recovering the seat. I also got some re-pop retro pedals from Electra that look totally period correct on this thing. I'm thinking 70's muscle...
It's gonna look sweet!
