Stripped the dog bike back to bare metal (for now) fitted some chrome 700c forks and a cheep set of rims. We like:

Fools! This bike is freakin rad!
........and on ebay right now - has a bid on it and all. Yours for $1,100ish.

They 27" wheels?
Nope 700c. -
OK,
So I have come back from a big drink (relax children, it's past dinner time in my timezone) and have decided to take to the dog bike with paint stripper.
Couple of hours of rubbing and ta-daa.....still needs clear coat. Sun has long since set so - not the best pic (not the best bike either.)
Cheers

You know one of the pedals is reverse threaded, right?
Can you imagine how tight that thing is by now? TIghter than a fishes arse, I reckon. -
@ Jambon: The rims are some cheepies off ebay over here in Oz . . brand is "Stars Circle" and they cost around AU$80 for the set. See ebay item # 400105759682. They come in anodized blue and white too. You just have to peel off the silly stickers.
@ Re-Cycled: Yes, absolutely agree. I've got the hub on freewheel for now untill me and the dog get better acquanted with the setup and then I'll flip it to fixed down the track.
Cheers, and thanks for the compliments.

Who me? Right - I'll get some ASAP. Consider it done.

Quick update on the dog bike. New wheels (flip flop 48/16), forks and chain....I'm addicted and cannot stop doing things to it.
Chinese crap "Stars Circle". Cost me AUD$80 which is about as much as a pack of crisps in UK terms. Check out ebay item 390180267510, same thing - just rip off the stickers.
Cheers
