I need to come out to the next meet up!

Here is a quick pic of my bike before the Tour De Fat:

Hey guys! I was out there too! It was a great day for beer, bikes and music. I will post pictures later today. I did find this one of you Skip on flickr that someone from timeout chicago posted. I was near the front of the parade with my ride. My bike just before the Tour De Fat Found Skip...

i have some videos of the bike pit that i will post later tonight.

Re: Chicago Monthly Ride ~update 6-29~ Hey! i dont think i will make the July ride, but August is looking good.

Hey Guys! My name is Kevin I am the guy with the shark tank rat bike. The tour De Fat was awesome and alot of really great bikes there. I really cant wait till next year. if i wasn't already busy i'd trek up to the milwaukee show next week.

I really like the front light mount!

welcome! great looking bike. I haven't seen too many of those old Felt 750's around. Great find too!!

Nice quick build, I like the red fenders alot. Makes it stand out compared to a typical black chrome scheme.

I finally picked up a new rear wheel with a coaster brake hub. It will take some getting used to since i've gotten so used to riding my road bike over the past couple of years. I also installed my homemade wooden whale tank. It still needs a few more finishing touches like painting the inside of...

Re: MonStar Rat bike (first time builder) For now i'm keeping it as much of a junkyard rat as possible. After July 11th (tour de Fat in chicago) I will probably tear it apart and paint the frame and go with a military theme for the bike. I've always liked the FELT M.P.

Re: MonStar Rat bike (first time builder) Here is a quick pic of the tank template and design. I hope to find a coaster hub this weekend and will probably go all whitewalls or just have them handy for quick switching to mix up the look. A garage sale by my house had a sweet 26" red vintage...

I wanted to start a BUILD thread since my intro was beginning to take shape of one any way. I picked up this Frankenstein rat bike as a semi operational project. I added a new seat, classic grips, and widened the rear fork to fit the 24"x3.00" fat tire. I also rake'd out the front springer...

added some stuff. just an updated picture. This week I need to replace the front tire and figure out a way of stopping it. I love the rake'd out front tire, gives it a nice look. I just need to clean it up and replace some of the rusty bolts and replace them with gold colored, mainly out of...

I will post some new pictures tomorrow, but I put on a nice tan parsons seat from an old bike I had in the garage. I fixed the back wheel rubbing with a few washers to help space the forks a bit. I will rake the front wheel out tomorrow morning. I need to figure out what kind of brakes to put on...
