Being a noob to both the site & Rat Rod Bikes in general, I am amazed by the quality & vision of the builds shown in the current build off. Has certainly given me food for thought & inspiration to better my abilities so I can join in the fun in the future hopefully. Even started to make plans...

Gotta love a bitsa bike! Really interested to see where this one goes. Still jealous you guys over the pond can get so many cool parts quite readily it seems!! :(;)

Really liking the look of this build. Yet another inspiring & talented build from a forum member. Great vision & work man. :praise:

Come back to me when you've come up with something original. :41:

That's because it's not a skirt!!

Just remember...man flu is a terrible affliction!!

Only build I really have properly in progress is my little trike, and it's not so much of a build, more a re-vamp. Moulton would take to long right now for me.

What an awesome build you have planned. Could even be my current favourite RBBO9 work in progress. Kinda lowrider bomb/led sled look. Can I ask what make & model frame that is you are using for the build?

Yeah just a bit quicker!! ;) Definitely need to up my tool arsenal and bike building game to join a future RBBO! :cool:

Absolutely loving the fat 20 inchers!! Cannot wait to see this bike done. Have to say Chain Reaction has to be the best online cycle store I have ever dealt with. Great prices and very helpful staff.

Got some paint arriving today. Just some rattle can red oxide primer and some matt black. I'm a member of a Honda Cub page on facebook and have seen a member who has painted their cub frame in red oxide and then some dry brushing with matt black. So I am going to attempt an incarnation of that...

To be honest I'm personally not overly keen on fender skirts. Plus I think on a bike this size they just wouldn't look right. This is a very low budget build so not going to be anything spectacular!!:oops::D Back at work today so going to scavenge some used engine oil from our workshop to...

Might have a little play around as in no hurry to finish the build as such.

Thinking along these lines: Polish up the front wheel and retain the metal wheel discs, also given a good polish. Give the frame a good wash and remove all the decals. Key the original paint and cover it with either matt black or grey primer. Key the rear wheels and repaint completely in red...

True, my problem is though, trike's are extremely thin on the ground over here. So without spending an absolute fortune I'd probably be looking at creating my own.

Should look great, interesting build. Love the look of a trike. Definitely something I want to attempt when I become a bit more competent in my bike builds.

Getting there in the idea stages. Amazing how the frame takes on a completely different look with a stretched wheelbase, even though it's only a mock up. Front wheel looks great, reminds me of the front wheels on old slingshot dragsters or fuel altered racers.

Like the look of this build. Lot's of neat components and accessories being added. I especially like the light. Uber cool.

Should be a great looking bike. I actually prefer the style on the first mock up personally. Maybe a compromise between the two would be a good idea?

Trike stripped to component parts. by paulfletcher5, on Flickr Trike now stripped down to component parts!! :grin: Just need to give some more thought to what evilness I'm going to inflict on her!! :crazy: I have been thinking, seeing as I'm trying to spend as little as possible on this trike...
