Nice, especially the chain guard and rims. Chain ring is very nice as well. Favorit coaster brake hub? Pity the rear fender is missing, but you can probably get a Wald that'll fit. What's the wheel size?
Oh, and if you want a little girl to ride it, you need a bell with a pony, and wicker basket on there.
Obviously Velamos is a Czeck brand of bicycles, mostly kids bikes imported here. Isn't "velamos" a Latin or Spanish verbal form, something like "let's go?"

thx, it was the chain guard which 1st caught my eye. It does have a Favorit coaster ! good call.
20 inch wheels, and it'll have all the 'girly' things on there ! maybe even heartshaped cruiser mirrors
someone posted a pink and black bike awhile ago that he did for his girl, and I fell in love with it...cant find the pic tho...

Yes, but is that a 20 x 1.5 (or something else with a decimal point) or 20 x 1 3/8 (or whatever, with a fraction)? If the former, you can find all kinds (and colors) of tires for it; if the latter, the selection is a bit more limited. I can't tell from the look of it....
