Title: E.T bike from spare parts
Post by: firebird4130 on May 15, 2009, 03:39 PM: Picked this bike up the other day only wanted the wheels but the guy said I could take the whole thing

Thought it would be a shame to waste it, so with a few parts laying around in the shed and a couple of cans of spraypaint, I did this

It was fun making it ,and my 4 year old will be able to ride it when he's bigger, he loves E.T, I've got some stickers coming for it, gonna put the brake on later
