So I am building me a bike for the "RRBBO4". I desided to use this.This bike was made in Germany by Union Bicycle Co. Its a good start for a Rat. I plan to Find some cool parts and will keep you posted on this job. P.S. Any ideas would help but make them simple because this baby is due on August 2 ,2009

Yay! new build-off participants are still entering.
I always thought that Union was a Dutch make... Cool bike. I never saw this model Union. Did you notice Union doing the hotrod-trick themselves? A saw their new models in store a few months ago: Racing inspired 'Grannybikes'.

Good luck with your build.

Cool. I've always want to do a bike with wood grain like the woody.

I just went to Auto Zone and found some penstriping tape to rat out the bike.

 

[American Vintage Bicycle Supply]

WOW was I HAPPY. I just found a headlight for my bike for $5.00. So we rushed home to see if it would fit. To my disapointment, I found that the light didnt work at all. :x No wonder it was so cheap!!!
