Okay, actually it's a modern Ruff Dean euro chopper frame underneath, but my goal was to build it up with original paint parts from a ladies 1953 Firestone Super Cruiser.

Really tight build that one!
Definitely my favorite in terms of how you finished everything. Perfectly detailed.
But like I said at the very beginning...the rest of us were basically aiming for second place

You always build awesome bikes and I like this one a lot. But I have to say that I am really digging that theater in the background. I have a thing for old theaters. Keep up the good work. It is always a pleasure to see what you will come up with next.

Sometimes I see a bicycle that makes my mouth drop. This is one of them. Incredible build.
