[QUOTE="bmxerpete, post: 42861, member: 1944"] Howdy everyone, My bike is called Rat Trap and she is an early to mid 70's Huffy. I think. My inspiration for this bike was the gassers and dragsters of the 50's and 60's. I've always been in love with those cars, so I figured I'd try to do a bike version of them. [img]http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n36/pete355/ratright.jpg[/img] [img]http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n36/pete355/ratleft.jpg[/img] The wheels are magnesium Webco mags from the 70's. I've always loved how they look just like Halibrand magnesium dragster wheels.

And a military surplus parachute in a nomex 'chute bag.

This bike has both bases covered.
