Ratty racer project

[Boardtrack fan]

I decided I needed to just throw together a rat for summer ridding. When I got home from work I started throwing parts together and this is what Ive got so far. Hawthorne frame with a fork I got from BicycleDon at the Detroit autorama. A new huffy donated the cranks, chain, wheels, tires and handlebars. The stem is from a 51 Schwinn DX I parted out and the seat (still working on) I think came from another Hawthorne.

That looks pretty cool, except for the seat it looks not verry cumfortable.

Cool bike BT, I really dig the classic bike with a tripple tree fork look. Is that the invisa-seat that I didn't see in Don's booth :lol: ?...Kelly

i bet that seat feels like youre riding on air :lol:
looks good!

A real nice starting platform, not real familiar with the Hawthornes but I think that's the first straight bar version I've seen like that.

WOw! you have the new theft proof seat.. The cushion of the seat is actually attached to a pair of bicycle shorts.. You rock dude!! lol

Got home early today so I finished up the ratty racer and took her for a spin! Rides pretty good, maybe a few minor changes like padding on the seat! The sun was shinning so I broke out the pea shooter and took some pictures.

Boardtrack,I think your Peashooter is about the BEST bike EVER posted on here!

I cant get enough Boardtrackers!

Thanks! Obviously boardtrack style bikes are my favorite, now all I need to do is win the lotto so I can afford a real one.

Great job on this new one. I like the moon bars flipped.

As always the Peashooter is tops.

Great bike

that pea shooter you got there...that is a thing of beauty, how does she ride?

I like where your going with this bike, I'm sure you will amaze me with the final product

Actually the peashooter is yet to run under its own power. I still need to finish the wiring and fix a bent rear drop-out. Ive been working on other things since the weather has/is to bad to ride. The Ratty racer is pretty much done except for maybe some black quick brick tires and some padding on the seat. A lucky 7 seat post might be in order as well.

Cheap and easy head badge.
1 can of energy drink + tin-snips + 2 holes = new head badge

Now that is totally the design im going for on one of my bikes. minus the awesome headbadge....which i might have to steal the idea for

I like how you have that bike set up. I love staight bar frames......I can never say that enough. Board trackers, are just the best in my book.

Cool bike.....but......I like the "PEA SHOOTER" ! Did you put a small fuel tank inside the exsisting tank? I hate the tank that came with the kit! Check out mine on my myspace site. Later, GERRY D.

Gerry, I used a tank from a remote control airplane. Thanks for the compliment.
