I've been trying to figure out what I will build since the build-off email was sent out... I was hesitant to do a ladies frame, since I am also doing another one at the moment for my girlfriend, and I wasn't sure how ratty I could get with it. My other option was a high end alloy 90's Trek MTB frame that I found in my alley, but I did some mockups, and it still reeked of MTB. I also have a sweet Norco touring frame, but I just don't see it as rat material. well, it could be, but I have other plans for that one.
After a lot of pondering, I think I have some ideas that will make this thing cool. She won't be the type of girl you want to bring home to show mom. I'm gonna put a bunch of holes in it. Drillium! the hot rodder's secret weapon! add a little bare metal, pinstripes, and possibly a burlesque/pinup influence, and it will be... The Hot Rod Girl
Please note, the picture is from a couple moths ago, I took to send to a friend who said she wanted it, but it turns out she doesn't, so here it is in the build-off.
