Simple rat *chain help*

[charliechaindrive]

I decided to use my name/frame change, because the auction sale I had planned to buy parts for the snake at, had to be rescheduled to the day AFTER the build off ends! So, here's my new frame

Its some kind of huffy middleweight, traded it for an apple fritter
And I didn't take ny pictures of the breakdown, but I completly dissasembled it, sanded to bare metal and today me an my dad shot it with primer. I'm buying some paint soon, and I'm going with the tried and true, flat black with red rims and white wall's. Here's a picture of my dad showing me how to use a professional paint gun, no ratlecanning for this build!

And walah! Primered frame!

Unfortunatly, I might half to buy tires. Expencive tires...

Re: Simple rat

I dropped the idea of the red rims, because the wheel's just came in. 11 gauge spokes, laced to chrome double wall's. My fender's are done drying as well, my pinstriping job turned out well!

The reason for the heavy spokes is, I might put a bike motor kit in this frame. My friend shawn's grandma got done with my seat too, just got back from picking it up.

Even though I don't have enough time in the build off, I might make a in frame tank for when I install my motor kit. Paint might be here tomorrow, and the chain should b done soaking in used oil by then. I am adding my caliper brake conversion thingy to this, due to the fact that my new wheel has a freewheel, insted of a coaster. Fender might get notched for motor chain, but it'll be tough. Cutting through fresh paint...

Re: Simple rat

Yesterday I painted the frame, I assembled it this morning and just got back from a 15 mile ride to take my finished picture! So, here it is. satin black, whitewalls and chrome. I'm hoping that the place I picked the right spot for the picture.

I'd say that I did good for a 4 day build!

Re: Simple rat

Okay, I have a question for everyone on here. Should I put a green kmc chain on here and take the old painted headbadge and put a monster energy sticker on it? I can't say I like the drink, but the color scheme is catchy.

 

[charliechaindrive]

Argh, I can't find my chain breaker! I don't want use the old hammer method because I don't want to scratch the paint. Any tips?

 

[charliechaindrive]

Good idea, I'm not quite shure why I didn't think of it...
