There’s so much legal paperwork to read, that was almost as painful as taking down my last tank lol.

I put some tassels on a kiddie bike yesterday.

The installation instructions admonished me to, “save them for future reference”. In 3 languages.

Maybe I should pass them on to my granddaughter to learn Chinese and Spanish.
Like the looks with the banana seat and front mini wheel very cool imo.

Ulu Ulu , I'm sure a man with your set of skills could have rustled up a kiddies bike in your garage in no time, tassels and all!

I did!

I had to take photographs in the kitchen yesterday because it was so gloomy outside.

Aside from the seat, handlebars, tires, and all the small bits which I bought new, this is made from four different used bicycles.

The forks were cheapo mountain bike forks from a 20 inch Huffy. The rear wheel is from a 14 inch bike and the front wheel from a 12 inch bike, both of which look very similar to this one. The frame is from a 16 inch bike.

I took the springs out and I added spacers to make the front forks rigid.

You can't even tell it's home made, that's how good your metal work skills are. It just looks like a kiddies bike from the shop!

I thought you'd gone and spent money on a shop bought bike and just added the tassles. You old trickster you, lol.
