PeeWee & The Friendly Chopper

Okay, I know I haven't updated in a couple weekends... I know, shocking for a blog right??

So, here are a couple updates for you at once... The PeeWee 57... HOW TO:
Put little wheels on a regular bike.
Move cranks up so the pedals clear when you actually pedal, but barely.
Smash a "57" spike in it to stay on theme.
Paint it mostly black, add a vintage book rack and comfy bars.

And a red reflector for the front to finish it off!
And the "Friendly Chopper 57" technically a chopper tandem, but I think it will take some blood and tears to find two people who can ride it well enough to go buy beer.
Strip a kids mountain bike for the new "fork".

Grab a bike that works perfectly fine as-is. (We'll have NONE of that!)

Grab a front wheel off a little girl bike, with moon discs.

Add a rusty fender you found in a creek bed, then weld = fun!

Cover open frame sections with fun shapes! It's a star mommy!

Stare at the forks until you THINK you can add another place to ride!

Make your wife test ride it, just in case.

When she rocks it and laughs at you, consider it a success!
Paint it mostly black. Pretend you bought it at Wal-Mart... on sale.

Star, beer holder and "57" spike in frame.
Fun and FUN.. more to come!
