I looks ready to me! Nice job.

Absolute balance and grace. The psycho-physiological equilibrium is staggering. It belongs in the Museum of Modern Art Permanent Design Collection.

So much cool detail and rat-itude. I love the bike.

Yeah, OK peaches...we cool. Thanks for the pizza.

First, I love aluminati and thanks for your compliments on my bike. I needed to think about this. Ordinarily, I would avoid responding but you put a dollar's worth of quarters in my head and so, here it goes. Sorry for gettin' all philosohical on ya' and I hope this isn’t too cynical. A sign...

I just put the picture up on the finished string. Thanks for the compliment and the heads up.

No extra parts on this bike. A lot of steel, though. Thanks for looking and posting.

Thanks for the compliment. "Drillium" was the rage for a while. Racers used to do it to lighten their rigs because, "there's nothing lighter than a hole." Now it's mostly for cool, old style.

"Jeez, boys and goils. We got us a poet he-ah. Ay, I know I'm a little butch, but I'm a lady, OK. Plus, there ain't no change. Where you gonna get a pizza for 20 bucks, huh? And, I'll give your car keys back when I see ya, OK, peaches? Oh, and I got your exterminator right here! " Sorry, bro...

Thanks for the compliment, she likes hearing that. This is my first Roadster. Also, first coaster brake, first steel fenders, first wheels I've laced, first drillium job and first paint job.

Thanks so much. I build bikes to ride them. That's half the fun! This frame fits me but is lower and heavier than all my others. The coaster brake will take some getting used to. The steel fenders have their own sound, too. I keep looking to see if something's loose.

As always, it's been fun building a bike in the august company of the RRB Forum. I'm always inspired by your creativity. Here's the build journal: http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/the-cats-a-finished.103673/ Build statisitics: Frame: Early 80’s Miyata 210. CroMo frame/...

The paint on the frame is Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer. It has the same red oxide color as automotive red primer. I did the lugs and dropouts with a brush. Then did the tubes with a rattle can. Next was a clear matte coat of Rustoleum Clear (Matte). The fork is Rustoleum Black Satin on top of...

Nice clean bike. A Klean Klunker. What did you name the toad? He looks mellow.

Nice craftsmanship. What a beauty!

Super meticulous restoration. I was going to ask about the logo on the building, but it was answered already.

This bike is so tactile and textured. Since I've been viewing this forum, I've been turned on to rust. I still haven't built a rusty bike but rust is inevitable.

I like your bike. It's an amazing mixture of parts from many eras.

The frame is so nice. That raw finish is rich.

Nice job. Now it's ready for the next 60 years.
