I finally remembered to take a picture of the girl working on her bike.
She is cleaning the parts for the coaster brake in this picture. I am glad she doesn't mined getting a little dirty once in a while. The last items that needed to be cleaned where the wheels. I usually do those first. If the wheels need to be replaced the whole build could get delayed or scrapped, I knew these where okay and just needed to be cleaned so we did everything else first for some reason.
Front wheel is on the bike and spinning good, just waiting for the help to finish up the rear wheel.
The rear rack cleaned up very nicely as did the other shiny bits on the bike. Hopefully I can keep her from giving rides on the rack so we don't end up with a dent in the rear fender again. At this point she is getting very excited to see her new bike done and be able to ride it around.
The finished product! I will put a bunch more pictures in the gallery. I tried to get some "interesting" photos of the bike but I am not a photographer so they may not be to good. I also used the flash on a few, they show the color and detail but look to stark for my tastes.
