My Blogger is Back!

Well, we've not blogged in a year. 

What were we thinking? We have had some fantastic bikes pass through the shop. 

Beautiful, aged, lots of character and of course very fun. 

20" Girls Vintage Hiawatha "ART BIKE"



To get back in the swing of things, we're gonna tell you     

about a "FUN" bike.  It's a girl's 20" Hiawatha.  But 

here's the thing.  It's been overhauled and then decoupaged!

Yes, decoupaged, not with paper, but with fabric. 

There are flower lugs and other little details...as well as 

painted pedals.  Take a look, tell us what you think...
