As an overhead crane operator in an aircraft factory my job puts me on a bike every night. About 8 years ago I built this beauty from parts I pulled from scrap bins at work. Worksman wheels with brick red rubber and geared to cruise the level cement floors of the factory. When I began the build I sandblasted the frame, forks, and ape hangers. The grips are well worn, vintage Schwinn Chubbies. Since her whole life has been spent indoors she has developed a beautiful patina. The basket carries my drink, a nylon lifting strap, my gloves and hard hat. Tank panel sticker bombed with a variety of things that caught my eye. Over the years we have covered hundreds of miles and she has never been wet. I have an identical seat stashed away when this one gives out. Shout out to all the Rats workin' the Graveyard Shift with me
