I've been waiting a long time for this pilgrims! The very same day the new build off is announced my camera dies!
So no pictures yet obviously but the plan is to chop the seat tube on this 1950s girls bike to slam the seat, file flames into the rear the drop-outs, skinny 16X1 3/8 front rim on a 1930s tandem drum brake, phat 16X2.125 Raleigh Red-line tyre (ex Chopper front) on a Schwinn Lil Stardust coaster up back, 60s ex Moulton Williams splined BB and cranks, leather sprung saddle. Rusty. Faded. Hard. Dangerous.
I want it to look like it was rodded 50 years ago and then abandoned because it was cursed. Its the bike Damien would have ridden if he'd had good taste.
Haven't thunk of a name yet, Hellflower maybe.
