First ride was a success, rides better than she looks

Rides better than she looks!

Freshly rebuilt and customized

A Electra Suzy-Q that I just finish restoring and customizing

So you all have seen the pink fat bike I built for my wife a few months ago. Well I picked this up as a rusty old frame a cpl months ago and finally got around to mounting some wheels on it I picked up on market place. 26x3 with some spare 26x2.4 tires o had laying around from another project I have on hold currently (yes I have a lot projects going at once lol)

Really liking the look of the polished wheels so this bike might rock more polished pieces than the wife’s bike. I’m finishing a bike this week and after that it’s full steam ahead on this one for me! Gonna have cool His and hers fat bikes soon 🤞🏽

Tires come in on Monday, ordered some gum wall Billy bonkers tires…. Or should i do regular black tires?

This times it’s my Electra Susy-Q/rat fink/jeremy

Not exactly the color I thought I had bought, I expected greener but it’s growing on me with the matte 2k clear.

Southern California here, particularly a coastal town near Santa Barbara/malibu. Came from some old trees in the backyard that were cut down. Not sure what they were.

Threw some “fat tire” rims on the stretch 26x3 made it work inside a regular beach cruiser fork.

Did away with the motorcycle front end and 29s new fat tire rim on the way for the rear. Should be cool looking

And Yeah I have a problem my 7th frame in the last 2-3 months. Threw on the 26” from my wife’s beach cruiser and her seat. Like the look. Maybe I’ll try 27.5s on there

Fenders are next…

Gonna really have some fun with this and try to do it all myself. Just something to tear the streets up in without a care in the world. (It’s already fully tore apart and getting reworking the fork setup. Riding on 29s which is cool af if you ask me.

Current and the day I got it.

No idea what the plan is I just thought it looked cool.

So I took an old kids trailer and built a custom little doggy trailer to take our dog out on rides with us. Not to bad huh. Threw some taillights and ordered headlight for it too. Probably gonna do matching white walls too.

Gave it a quick little spray can paint job, nothing fancy, and added a bent springer for and new chain. White walls come in tomorrow. Full Fenders are next.

Was so much fun to build, tbh I kinda don’t mind the pink as much as I thought I was going to. Bike feels so smooth and light surprisingly for such a heavy fat tire bike (50-60lbs) it’s so easy to get it going. Definitely a nice cruiser.
