That purple bike is a thing of beauty.

I think with a bit of oxalic acid that bike could turn out quite well.

That's an old seat belt comfort thing, hides the Bratz logo and well that's about it. I thought I may get a non "lose the so and so", but I can't please anyone!! :D

aight here was my weekend deal. found 2 barbies on the side of the road, 12 inch and a 16. got a ton of parts/hardware for future junk off both, and most important, a back wheel, tube and tire for one of my sitting bikes.

remember this? well, the brakes went so i stripped all the good stuff off of it for other things and stuff for the brat. was sitting strpped down for a few months.
http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd167/david359/Bikes/DSC02313.jpg

now it's this. the origanal front wheel is on the aloung with a new tire and tube.
http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd167/david359/Bikes/DSC09801.jpg

here is the 2 bikes that were ditched by one and found by me. thanks for the back wheel!

http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd167/david359/Bikes/DSC09815.jpg

http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd167/david359/Bikes/DSC09803.jpg

http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd167/david359/Bikes/DSC09223.jpg
