    Phat Rat

    I just finished this modern Phat cruiser, using a vintage Roadmaster springer fork, vintage J.C. Higgins light and a pretty crank set from I don't know what. It's finished in Metalspeck with a clearcoat. I love how it came out, but alas, it's a single speed and I live in the Tucson foothills. I...

    Three-Speed Rat

    Picked this up today. Badged as a Goodyear. Originally skip-toothed and truss-rodded. Anybody want a skateboard deck?

    Dang, that's nice. I need to read your patina tips. I am most impressed with the pic of your "happy place" out there in the Back 40.

    1959? Double Straight Bar

    I was wishing for a straight bar frame that I could put my Torpedo 2-speed wheel set on, and this popped up on the local Craigslist! I could not be happier. It's powder coated a dark, dark, iridescent purple.

    FITMENT

    It would look so much better with shiny chrome truss rods, but here it is, with the padded seat stuffed into the sissy bar (FITMENT PROBLEM #8,) battery bungied down, controller bag stuffed between the top bars and down tubes (FITMENT PROBLEM #9,) blue cable housings to match the battery and...

    FITMENT

    Now this, dear ratter reader, is where things went kerflooey on me. I got a call from a fella who needed an ebike NOW, and I did my best to accommodate him. I quickly added the controller, handlebars, stem, levers, grips, etc., wired it all up, took a quick pic for his approval, AND THAT'S ALL...

    The tape held the foam padding on like crazy! Time to grab the staple gun. Stapling to the wood on the underside, I found it surprisingly easy to keep things relatively smooth an tight. I say "relatively" because I'm a rat rodder, and my motto, which I borrowed from Jimmy Buffet, is "not to...

    FITMENT

    I have had this roll of outdoor fiberglass carpet for at least 30 years! It was still sticky, so what the hey?! I tried it. I put some on the top, sides and back of the seat pan, cut some dense shipping foam to fit, and stuck it all on the pan.
