Goggles or Bike?

Well to say nonetheless I am planning two things but having a hard time to decide on which.

i would love to do goggles, becasue i have a 1922 boy scout fer-de lis-that i would love to put on the goggles. (one would have a target reticule that i am still pondering on how to do that. )

target reticule>>>O-O<<
on the other hand i have a somewhat new mountain bike that i would love to age around 80-122 years. i dont know much about the bike but i think i should let you decide. (any suggestions on a 04' mountain bike?)

thank you for your comments, suggestions, anything!

ohh...A bike would be cool.. I wonder how you could do it?

Sand off the old paint, and recolour the entire thing, maybe even with some wood paneling in places..

switch upp the pedals. something like old wood style, or a tarnished bronze with clockworks showing in the center/midle of the pedals.

Bike, for sure.
I've always wanted to see one painted, I can't paint mine because it is very heavy and I just don't want take it apart to paint.

so after some excellent ideas form this guild and others, i have found an excellent reference image for the bike i wish to do!

please do have a look!

now the frame, i cannot change but i'll add: the light, wings, the pipes, (hopefully) and if i can get them, clockwork gears.

even better ,i'll attach some things, (not saying) and when i pedal, the wings will go up and down accordingly!

Ooo... both ideas are good.

Personally i would do both. XD And i never thought of modding my bike. It is a 1970's-80's 10 speed. currently red
