On vacation with my wife, West coast of the state of Michigan. Beautiful sandy beaches, crystalline blue waters, and like the T-shirts say: "No salt. No sharks. No worries." Ate dinner at The Rusted Spoke, appropriate for the last day of RRB BO 19. And we are right on the beach...

Pondo, you basically achieved everything you envisioned for this ride; which is hard to do! The '50s vibe, the rear hub conversion and wheel lacing, all your touches on the RaT-ina, especially the chain ring and tire aging ... :113: !! Kudos on a great build!

You guys are too hip for me.

You really took on the challenge of RaT-ina with fervor and dedication, KF. And then went hog wild with the gee gaw in the end! Congrats on blending your patented kingfish style with a very ratty looking build. The photos say it all! :113:

Man! To take it from what you started with to where it is now blows my mind! :oops: And then YOU RODE the dang thing!! Incredible amount of geometry, engineering, and work into this one. Kudos! :praise:

Very creative concept and execution Bobby! And great final photo too. :thumbsup:

@Roosterbooster0 , the fact that you built this bike almost entirely out of a hotel room is astounding! Your vision for this build and then following your 'nudges' and intuition along the way really brought it to life. Well done man! Definitely one of my favorites of the RRB BO 19!

Agreed ^^ !

Well done! Great natural patina look and yes, that fork is a keeper for sure!

Well done my friend! It's ratty, with those red walls and red grips adding a dash of class and flair. And that's okay. PS Glad you chose this saddle.

I like this one, a little better light on the bike.

Hey all RatRodBike builders in RRB BO 19! Remember that Final finished bike photo and other build details must be posted in the “Finished Bikes” thread by 12 noon North American Central Time on July 31st, 2024!

In the '70s there was a term for cool cars; "that thing is boss" ! I think of that word when I see this muscly, gnarly, raked forked, transformed trike you have built. Hope Momma V digs it and enjoys riding it.

Ride videos rule! That looks very bike friendly. No real curbs to hop between street and sidewalk. Love the cobblestone!

Wow! Dad gum! Excellent work sensi! Those 'special Hoppy edition' thickBricks are great on there too!
