Original Pee Wee's Big Adventure Bike

[abe lugo]

I'm really surprised that they haven't make a "Pee Wee"die-cast 1/6 or 1/20 scale model.
Like these Schwinn Phantoms or the Krate Bikes from AMT with a fancy package a "Collector Edition" or Commemorative Edition".
Packaging is everything, .

That’s really cool! I thought the 20” replica I made was the smallest. This would be easier to store and display.

That is a great idea! I would buy 'em!

The main reason I never wanted to fully outfit this bike was the tank. In order to do it I would have needed to remove the Schwinn decals and drill the holes for the switches. I just couldn’t do that.

I was given the opportunity to acquire a tank that Pee Wee autographed, and that’s what convinced me to fully outfit the bike.

The other thing I was concerned about was a color match for the chainguard. Knowing my bike was powder coated in 1984, I did some research and bought a color swatch book of powders availble in 1984. I was able to match it to a RAL color, and order some matching paint, which I think matches great.

All parts I used are accurate and have direct lineage to screen used. I hope you like it!
