summer build donner bikes PICTURES

this is an old bike i picked up at the junk yard and to answere the question YES IT WORKS i couldnt belive it but i turned the crank and it lit up



btw this bike cost 3$
i would pay double that for the light!
the part of the frame that holds the rear tire is bent but im only using the front tire, pedal assembly and crank, handlebars, light and seat post

and this is the bike im using the seat , forks, rear tire, brakes, frame patern, the clamp that holds the handle bars and bolts from (the bolts have the brand symbol on them

also the kickstand ^


the finall bike is going to look like the above bike with a bamboo frame because thats the frame im using as a guide

would a womens frame design be weaker ?

Slightly, but some have mounted bicycle motors on them....like deacon.

Please show pictures as you progress. We just ordered an 80 kit for my wife, and she wants to use a girls bike. She has arthritis in her hip and doesen't want to have to lift her leg any higher than she has to, to get on it.

Just stay out of the pot holes and big bumps and mount a weed eater tank on the back.

I have been seeing a lot of kit tanks mounted on luggage racks behind the seat. I'd go that way. Yes you can do a womens bike, I did a 24" one and it was a lot of fun but it was also small.

I even dropped a twenty inch wheel on the back to make it even lower for me. If you check the bike only section you will see a bit about bikes for an old man (me) there are some simple inexpensive changes we can make to help with the stiff legs and bad balance.
