Almost done with my 2 pedal cars and my son wanted a show bike so we decided on a lil tiger since its easy to transport etc. I searched around and found one on facebook and ordered it, it was shipped today so don't have it yet but below is a photo. Once it arrives itll be shipped to California for candy, patterns, flake , striping and leafing by Mike Weigate. Other plans for it are to engrave and rechrome everything, have Hotstuff make a seat and Display table for it and get parts like nos grips , headbadge etc.

What color you going to paint it? I have nos blue and green grips if your painting it one of those colors

 

[Justin-Az]

Going to paint It flaked out red and silver, looking for some nos red grips.

 

[Justin-Az]

Just ordered 52 spoke chrome wheels, chrome chain, some training wheels, etc for it. Plan is to have the center part of wheel engraved and chromed. Only bad thing is FNRCO was sold out of the white wall street tires for 12" bikes so going to have the other kind of whitewalls for a while.

Just ordered bat holder and a red 18" Louisville Slugger bat. Does anyone know if they make , or made, red and silver streamers?

 

[Justin-Az]

Ordered some nos red grips, found them through a ebay seller. Cant find red and silver streamers but found some red and sparkle clear nos ones.

 

[Justin-Az]

Anyone selling any nos Schwinn lil tiger pedals with the reflectors?

Thank you but I just got a set off ebay with the street tread. FNR was sold out of all but the bmx type tread ones.

 

[Justin-Az]

Nice,

Thank you, I just noticed the bike arrived in phoenix today so hopefully it will be here tomorrow so I can send the frame to be painted.

 

[Justin-Az]

Lil tiger arrived today, not sure how to put it together as it came in many pieces but will worry about that later lol. For now Ive got it and the bat ready to send to Mike Weigate tomorrow and the seat ready to send to hotstuff. Also got a estimate on chrome plating and engraving sissy bar, fenders, seat post, handle bars, sprocket, crank and small parts.

 

[96tein]

You sending the forks for paint as well,
If so you need chain guard top bar frame and fork. Unless you are doing springers.

I have the forks, chain guard, frame, convertible bar and bat packed up for shipping. BTW, Where do you get the springers for 12" bikes?

I made mine and the ones on baby x out of 16" forks, but i think maybe schwinn1966 makes them as well

Found some NOS Schwinn lil tiger pedals by emailing ebay sellers, also got a nos Schwinn light bracket, now I need a Schwinn light.

 

[Justin-Az]

Got a nos light off ebay. Now have all the parts I need for now, down the road I may try to get a set of Schwinn training wheels but for now I have some wald ones and a set from FNR. So far Ive gotten 52 spoke wheels, chrome chain, wide whitewall street tires, nos red grips, nos red and clear streamers, nos light, nos light bracket, nos pedals and nos red head badge, bat holder and bat. The bat will be done to match the bike.

Next step is engraving and chrome. Im thinking to have engraved the headlight, light bracket, handle bars, fenders, seat post, sprocket, crank, sissy bar, wheel hubs, small parts.
