Thanks, it'll be my everyday bike when I get around to throwing a chain on it. I also put a small tear on the left side of the seat today :( . So I guess I'll look at new seats too.....

A friend of mine has one of the OCC Stingray choppers sitting around, said I could have the fork if I wanted.... You think it will fit on my new rat project without too much work? We live 2.5 hours away, so I don't want to make a blind leap if I can help it.

Re: '52 Schwinn to rat out. Ahhh, thanks, it definately looks as though that's it. I'm ok with that lol. According to http://www.angelfire.com/rant/allday101/SchwinnCodes3.html it was made on 04/17.... Which is my freaking Birthday! (not the right year though)

My 2 with apes...

Here's my daily rider...

Re: '52 Schwinn to rat out. The serial # is D340404, if it helps. I'm a novice when it come to building, my skills are limited to seats, rim/tires, and handlebar swaps. But thats good enough to stand out most of the time....

Re: '52 Schwinn to rat out. Here's the '52, now I gotta get parts....

Re: Electra Rat Fink 20". Should I? Picked it up, came with frame, fork, cloverleaf ring and pedals, crap wheels and tires and someone threw a Typhoon chain guard on it. Serial # comes back to August 1952. Now I wanna know the model, not sure what it is.

Re: Electra Rat Fink 20". Should I? oh, here's the Rat Fink bike if you guys are interested. http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/bik/1747271211.html

Re: Electra Rat Fink 20". Should I? Looks like I'll be going the rat rod Schwinn route. Picking up a black 1952 Schwinn cantilever frame with some old Schwinn rims handlebars and a Typhoon chain guard for $35.

I have the chance to pick up a 20" Rat fink for $100. Should I pick it up to convert it to a lowrider? I've built 26" cantilever low riders and love to ride them, but never done a 20". Or should I just pick up an old schwinn and rat rod it? (I've gotten some cool ideas from this site)

I'm familiar with MOC, I'm a mod at migunowners.

CPL, of course. Thanks for the welcome.

Just found this site. I love riding and building bikes.
