Royal Mess

I have gotten the Royal men's bike to work, but it reminds me of the Johnny Cash song "One piece at a time."

this is the actual Johnny Cash, One piece at a time car. 

How he had many different parts from different cars and years, well that's how this one turned out to look.  The handlebar grips are from a old mid 70's Schwinn cruiser, and SRAM 9.0 brake levers,

 the seat is from a Schwinn mtn bike,

 the bottom bracket is from a Bianchi,

the cantilever brakes are from a Raleigh.

(Sorry that the pictures are turned, my computer is very weird that way.)
 The rear derailleur i'm not sure what kind of bike it came off of, but the from one i know came off of a Magna mtn bike that i worked on awhile a go.  I took it off because it didn't work with all the chainrings.  It looks like a mess but when you really look at it and see all the different parts and where they came from, it starts to grow on you. I'm still unsure whether or not i want to paint it or not, but if i do, i would paint it black, that was the original color.  It looks good that way, i can't imagine it in a bright color.  If i do decide to paint it i will post pictures, but it's not looking like going to til spring.

Keep on Biking....
