This is my Schwinn Flying Star that I am turning into a Pee Wee Herman bike. When I bought this it was pretty rusty and disgusting so I've spent months sanding it down and painting it. I still need to build the saddle bags for the back (If anyone has a clue about doing that i'd appreciate some advice). As well as a few more odds and ends.
If you remember the bike from the movie you will notice that I do not have the same siren as Pee Wee. His looks like this:
Believe me I have tried to find this siren, and I have twice. It sells for over $1,000 on ebay and Im not ready to drop that much cash on a bike siren right now.
My favorite accessory by far though is the compass, which the majority of Pee Wee bikes I have seen usually leave out.
Here's a top view for ya.
I have a few more shots of the bike on my
Flickr.
I'll leave you with this one though...
Now I just need to save up for a Delorean.....
