Well it was my first bike and it took quite a while to get her going. The bike was in bad shape when I got it. The bearings in the wheels needed grease and the rear wheel had trash stuffed in the flywheel and wouldn't turn. After I got it all cleaned up, I put it all together and got it running. Then I took everything off and painted it with brown and orange spray paint. I used a brush to apply the orange/brown mix to make it appear as though the bike was rusting away somewhere. I made it as messy as I could. I left the chrome alone so it sticks out. Several neighbors thought it was an old motorcycle from the 40s. The coats of paint were put on unevenly and you can see it on the gas tank. Underneath this fake rust is a 66cc ported engine with an SBP exhaust and new air cleaner for the carb.

Looks good! I like it a lot. Your rear derailleur should be perpendicular to the ground though. It would probably shift better.

How do you like that SBP pipe? Any future plans for it?

I bet she turns lots of heads.

Ride safe.
