Tricycle










I don't know how old this trike is, but we found it at a swap meet down in Chicasha.  It's pretty old and had a lot of neglect.  We had the bars and fender re-chromed and my dad did a great job cleaning it up and painting it.  We put flame stencils on the fork and side of the rear step.  Since it's for a kid, we decided it would be better to paint the Native logo on the front instead of putting a headbadge on- could have sharp edges.  Beautiful and functional trike.  Thanks to Ruthie at Queenie's for helping us with the colors and design.  She bought it as a gift for a friend's newborn baby.


Cailean's Red/White A-bike









Check this out.  It was a late-40's Schwinn.  I copied the original markings on the tubes coming off the head tube.  We added the skirt guard.  Came out pretty sweet and it rides so smooth.

Schwinn Amanda




We're doing a late 40's Schwinn step-through for a girl named Amanda.  She likes red.  I think it looks sweet.  Should be done this Friday.  We'll be lacing up a skirt guard from the back fender to near the rear axle.
