I can't see the tank very well. Are you going to paint it or leave it chrome?

I left off left handle so you could view the extensions, I believe the width of the bars are 32" across, will show fenders and assorries later, the front of the tank (top) will be left chromed, rest will be a special red and frame black, fenders black with red color design pinstripes but more detail, chain guard emblem will be a black background with a red logo of a bio-hazard emblem, seat tube will have a red background and a black logo of a bio-hazard emblem where the Schwinn insignia would be, it's the headbadge that's killer! horn tank will have script but haven't decided on design, hold up on rear rack , and waiting on fender braces which will be cadium plated......once fenders are on it will make it come together but still have wiring to figure and details to finish,

Very cool! It's like a pee wee herman bike on steroids, lol. If I could do everything on a bike what would that be? Now I know! Really nice custom build, I'm enjoying watching it all come together.

I cant imagine what you have spent on chrome! Thankfully my girl doesn't have a problem with my bicycle addiction, in fact she is very supportive of it.

ya, well I thought like that as well for a time until she went out into the garage that you couldn't park a car in because of my hobbies, "honey" she would say, setting a trap for me, "is that another bike in the garage"? why no, (in a calm voice) that one was in the back and I've moved it to the front, " and what about the two hanging from the hooks"? as im thinking of options......it comes to me just LIE...that's it! then later I can rearrange them, What? those old bikes, why they've been hanging there forever it seems, as dark as it is in here im surprised you could even see them. "well tell me this" she says, "I was out here yesterday and took photos of the garage, and you notice in the photos the two bikes weren't there as well as these other three in front of the washer" oh,....ya well...there not mine, they belong to a friend and aaah he'll be over soon to get them. "is this the same friends wife that asked about these bikes and told him to get rid of them because their garage is full of bikes and there's no more space"? Oh crap I didn't have a answer to tell her, all I said was "huh"? next day at work I heard from my friend that a donation truck showed up at his house and cleaned out most of his bikes and other belongings, and then at my house, I was out the door before he finished talking, it was true as I drove past my house there was my wife talking to my friends wife in front of the house with the garage door open which I thought could never be opened, and no bikes. ya it's true, I kept alot of bikes in the garage but they were for parts or trading and just a plain diversion for the good bikes I kept locked away in the tool shed, hahaha, my wife always asked why the lawn mower and garden tools were never put away in the shed? my advice, have a plan "B" and get yourself a tool shed......

My girl goes with me to get the bikes, I gotta keeper. We are not married, if she got sick of me she would be free to go whenever she wished. That's why it works, I include her in everything I do. I build her bikes as well, buy her sewing machines etc. She is a maker just like me, our hobbies work together. She loves a roadtrip to go get something, flea markets, auctions, swap meets. If any woman I was with ever got rid of anything of mine I would get rid of her in a heartbeat. I divorced a miserable controlling woman before, I wont go down that road again. But my Betty and i just click, it's always been that way. I dont have to hide anything and neither does she.

that's the way it should be, I lost my bikes at the time, cars, jewelry etc...no more controlling people in my life, and with bikes finding there way here again, I get to have fun again no more garages!
 
rear unfinished fender with raspberry reflector monark silver king rear reflector, possibly 47-48 but im guessing, originally had a 2speed kickback with black rings instead of yellow, and this housing looked good and was the veration that has black stripes on top so it was a cool match, things have changed but still intend to use the monark reflector, buff housing, replace plastic reflector and repaint stripes, rear fender will also have spikes where the fender brace would of gone, Higgins rack with rear chrome assorrie and a change out of the plastic dome reflectors for a red glass replacement and an added light behind the red glass that will light it up at night,
