I made a post yesterday about how disappointed I was with the new Kmart bikes, I had hoped to buy one. 
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=12278 On my way home from Kmart I went by the two Thrift stores we have in town. The first one was a bust, only two bikes, I wasn't interested in either of them, but the second store had a girls cruiser bike just like the new boys bike I was going to buy at Kmart. It wasn't in bad shape, just dirty, and priced at $40.00. The plus side was that it must have been a little older, because the chrome fenders were the nice sturdy ones, It didn't look to have to many miles on it. I didn't buy it because it wasn't what I had wanted. I thought about it last night, and decided to go buy it. Well today I scratched off the LOTTO tickets I got for Christmas, and won $40.00. 
Well I bought it, and here are some pictures of it as it was when I brought it home, and after about 3 hours of work. Enjoy. Oh, I bought it for $35.00 total, I asked the clerk if she could do any better on the price. 8)
The victim
The carnage
The mock up
The finished product.
