POCO RATA "Little Rat" DONE!

[pick]

As done as it's gonna get for this build. Lights are not functional at the present time. I have very little $$ in this build. No paint or powder coat, traded for the frame (thanks Cameron), wheels & tires about 30 bucks, bars off of a pocket rocket, $10, seat, crank, sprocket & pedals & the rest I already had, flightliner tank $15, New chain $10. Grips were donated by SCHWINNRAY69. Cut the dropout extensions off of an old girls bike & the truss rods were made from a chrome rack that I got for free (thanks Judd).

Started with this:

Ended up with this:

& my grandson loves it!

& it is a rider!

Nice job pick, i'm digging that super high flange hub up front. Well executed especially for the cash you put in to it.

Hey Pick,
That's one bad bike (it the best way) , That fat tire with the seat lowered if uber cool
I might have to steal some of your ideas for one of the Eliminators
Think its cool how you and me put together the same frames and they look so different :shock:

"& my grandson loves it!" How can you tell? :lol: Bet Grandpa's smiling too
He already has the stance down pat
