I posted this bike a few months back kind of in a mock up form. I had pretty much abandoned the project because of some personal problems I had to resolve. Well, in the last week, I decided it would be a good idea to get started on it. Honestly, I finished this thing a lot faster than I anticipated.
So I had a thrown away 80s Huffy Good Vibrations, a thrown away 70s Schwinn Continental??, some old Nishiki fork and all of the old parts I've refused to get rid of. I figured I had enough to build a bike from scratch, and I was right.
It's done to the point of being rideable, and I took a few timeline photos. I'm definitely not done with it, and my plan is to put a motor on it, so I'll try to remember to post progress as it comes.
The pictures are taken at night as I just finished it. I'll take post some tomorrow of it in daylight. The last photo is of my step son who was brave enough to mount a bike bigger than he was.
I named it the "Honest Rat". Here it is.
General info
Front wheel - 27" x 1 1/4
Rear wheel - 26" x 2.25
Gear - 44x16
