Howdy fellas. Thought I'd share my latest bike build. It's not exactly a "rat rod", more like a Cal Custom or SoCal Strandie but it's a 26" cruiser so maybe some of you can dig it. I come from a BMX background so that should make my parts choices make more sense. It may look like just another looptail beach cruiser...but it's rockin' a 1968 Sachs Torpedo Duomatic 2-speed kickback hub. She can cruise....and she can haul the mail. :wink:
