Has anybody replicated this bike yet? I think that would be a fun project!

That would be something. I wanted that bike ever since I saw that movie. i wonder what happened to the original.

EDIT: I found this. http://bitsandpieces1.blogspot.com/2007/02/pee-wee-hermans-bike.html Looks like someone bought it.

The bike in the second pictures does not look accurate. I thought the back had tail fins and then the speaker with the lions head that goes on the handle bars is missing??? Somebody might of got ripped off.

It was based on the real bike, the Schwin Red Hawthorne.
