Rat Rod
Owner & Founder
Just received my new Skull Skates 26" Cruiser from P.D. up in Vancouver yesterday....WOO HOOOOO!!! 
A big thanks to P.D. at Skull Skates for sending this one along. It made the long journey from Canada down to Texas and finally arrived.
This bike is just flat out awesome. While it may not be your typical Rat Rod Bike, Skull Skates supports the site and I told P.D. that I would review it here so folks could see what a sweet product he is producing. This is a limited production bike and he had 100 of them made this go around. If you would like one for yourself you need to get on it and order one today. You can buy one on his site for $599.99 complete and ready to ride.

For those of you who don't know who P.D. is, he's one of the legends in the skateboarding industry and his company has been around since 1978. Not only does he have the skate shop (P.D.'s Hot Shop) going on, he's got one of the coolest vintage BMX bike collections around. If you want to see some of the bikes in his museum, click on the link below...

Here are the specs on the 2010 model cruiser...
Chromoly, Tig welded frame set replicated from our original hand built design. All original Skull Skates chromoly cruiser bars, Weinmann 7X rims, sealed bearing alloy hubs, stainless spokes, Kenda K-rad tires, cantilever brakes, genuine Brooks leather saddle, one piece chromo cranks, platform pedals, single speed freewheel. Shred ready geometry.
A few pics I took this morning of this mean machine...
Looking forward to taking it out on a few test runs and eventually I'd like to add some old school parts to really trick it out. :wink:
