Pee. Wee's bike

[b 17 fan]

Has anyone here recreated pee wee hermans bike? I think it would be fun if it wouldn't get out of hand

Been done many times. The only question I have is Why? Almost makes me puke every time I see one! V/r Shawn

He may have some "Hard to find" parts as well.

To most people, any red and white ballooner will be recognized as a "Pee Wee Herman bike", so if you want that effect, you don't have to be too accurate.

there is a thread on the therpf.com on how to build it, the thread got out of hand. I bailed. I no longer sell any parts.
In fact everyone wants the tiger head and whomever sells it charges a bunch for it, I had a good deal on kits a while back ago. Either way you need to get the rest of the bike done, then add the finally touches.

and the the rest of you. I'm always saying this, like it or not, Im sure that movie helps bring back the affinity for vintage bikes to some people. Otherwise you'd be mostly be a small group of dying collectors, it brings new people to the hobby and it is what it is.

That movie is a classic, and still makes me laugh, so even though I have no desire to try and recreate Pee Wee's Big Adventure, I would never begrudge someone from trying.
If you think it would be fun, I say, go for it!
Don't hesitate to ask questions, and follow the path that other like minded collectors have laid out for you.
Their good work was not in vain.

Go for it if you like the bike.I find that fewer people remember the bike.It is fading into history like Pee Wee has.My grand kids and their friends have no idea what the bike was all about

I liked everything about that very funny movie, including the bike!
