Fork - JC Higgins from a RRB member & the clamp was from Dr .Tankenstein
Vintage pan seat -Ebay
Front fender - Elgin my stash .
Rear fender - two new school Schwinn fenders that I made into one , from my stash .

Wheels - New Wellman nexus three speed. From a past build.

Definitely getting one of my votes!
Killer rat brother!
I love this one!
 
I have been watching this one, Has some sweet little touches here n there,and I love the patina.
 
This is the kind of material I signed up to see here five years ago?
There's only a handful that have the kind of feel in these buildoffs over the years (and I Have seen EVERY buildoff bike submitted, and saved pics for inspiration) that just scream that RRB soul like this one.

Well Done :bigboss:

Thanks man we all have different tastes & options in what we like . But I also feel like the heart and sole of this site started out as a vintage bike gone rogue. That’s what has always captured my attention also .
When I build a vintage rat bike I look it as rolling art & keeping it true to the RRB heart and sole vibe.

Nothing like some major frame modifications that have great "correctness" to them. Looks like this is the way it should have always been.

My favorite bike in the build off.

Much appreciated bud thanks . This one was a while in the making, in my mind . Been stashing parts for this bike about 3 years . Although I never had a exact plan until the build off started .
