This bike is not a pure old-school resto, but meant to be a daily rider. As such, I built it with new-school parts.
My daughter just learned how to ride a bike and this is hers. I have purple pads for it to give it some feminine charm, but I had to put the red ones on for the pics.
Since Dan lives with her Mom most of the time, I'm going to take this out to the track and let some of the younger kids who are new to the sport try it out. Some of them have boat-anchor bikes that are too big.
F/F JMC mini, SR stem, unknown 2" rise aluminum bars, layback SP, headset, Dia-Compe brakes, Cal Lite and Viscount pads and Shimano BB are all original old stuff.
New stuff includes Intense tires, Sinz wheels, Sinz cranks and chainwheel, ACS chain and freewheel, Lizard Skins grips and Odyssey seat.
Thanks to Howard Smith and Art Garcia at Action Bikes, Jim Melton for the stickers and great quality, Ray Hudson for most of the new parts, Rich at Lizard Skins for the grips, and--of course--to the anonymous donor of the frame and fork who only asked Action Bikes that a "good home" be found.
