[hewey]

Looks fantastic with the fat rubber

[JoKeR63]

This bike is keeping to my "Stark Raving Minimalist" sensibilities. I'm likin' it.

[cman]

Tough, fast, and simple with a touch of good looking. I think the stem looks good as it sets the handlebars off.

[Rat Rod]

Awesome!

[Hammond Eggz]

Very cool, and one of the toughest looking bikes I've seen in a while - nice job!

[Hooch]

[Gdcast]

[sprocketeer]

[ExtraBlaze]

Sweet

[bombshelterbikes]

NAILED IT.

Should by a pic of this bike on wikipedia under the heading "21st century rat rod".

Simple yet thoughtful, modern and retro, boundaries pushed, FUN expanded.

Thanks for keepin' it real!

Couple of extra points:

How does a skip tooth front sprocket work with a regular rear cog?

Are you gonna get that front light actually powered up?

LOVE the stem.

Love the "ratty red" paint. A touch o' satin clearcoat (or leave it) and call it perfect.

man, i almost made it back to page 2 again! ok...the rear sprocket is a 22 tooth,that has since had every other tooth ground off leaving an 11 tooth skipper! yes the tractor light will be functional.right now,im trying to dial in the shifter,then the bike will be broken down and the frame painted in oil rubbed bronze! as for the tanks and forks.........something special!

First off, cool bike, my fellow Texan! Like a lot of others, I just love the combo of new and old.

Second, mind taking us down a little sidetrack on your headlight's LED conversion process?

Third and final request, how does she ride?

heres the headlight conversion pics you wanted,tex! took a 9 led flashlight that runs on 3 aaa batteries. sliced off end of flashlight and epoxied it to the original bulb housing. put batteries in a sealed battery pack,soldered it up,wrapped up the battery pack in a piece of old black foam,then put a toggle switch in the hole where the old wiring came through!works great and you can hardly see the switch!
