That is looking too good. Wish I lived closer so I could cruise this summer!

Not sure if it was clever as much as it was desperate, but I'll take it! :wink: I got about 2 miles on it before the first breakdown, but it seems to be going strong now. My little sister laid it down hard and fast on the gravel road yesterday... left side is banged up, but it wasn't much to...

Thanks fellas! That means a lot--I'm glad somebody else thinks it looks ok. (snydur, that Krush is one smooth and clean machine! I'm pretty jealous.) I know it wasn't much of a chronicle... the build consisted mostly of me living at school with no time and the bike living in my parent's garage...

Fuel line problems, still need to get the Puch fork rethreaded, and I need to extend the header so the muffler will fit. After that, it's just working on aesthetics like tidying the cable lines and electrical wires, doing some paint work on the clutch housing, and fine tuning EVERYTHING and...

That new top tube makes this frame look 100% radder! :) Love it. I do like the original fork better though, especially if it's a mountain bike. Unicrowns aren't typically the most appealing, but in this case I think it flows better with the frame than the other fork. Just my 0.2! Looking...

Re: Monark Super Swift I was thinking about the lack of badge on the bike, and decided that rather than buy one, I'd make my own. The plan is to craft it in Photoshop, print it and mount it to aluminum or something else thin and bendable, laminate or otherwise seal it, drill it and mount that...

Wow, there's a whole lot of great stuff going on with this bike. It looks like it was built to be ridden! Big rotors, cushy fork, wide gearing... I'm especially fond of the tank. I'm going to make my own tank soon, so I'm eager to see other people's solutions. Oh, and welcome to the forum! I'm...

Re: Monark Rocket Rat Well, I've made a large amount of progress this weekend, and this thing is looking super ratty: I got a '78 Puch moped fork and test fit it. Looks likes I'll need to extend the threads just a bit to get it seat properly, but a 26" tire fits in there just fine. I've got a...

Whoa, love that tank and rear tire! Which is strange, because to date I typically don't like that style of rubber. It's looking good man. Good luck with the build, I'll be keeping my eye on this as I build my own.

Any 26" fenders left?

Re: Monark Rocket Rat Slowly putting things places. Specifically, chainring + cranks. Ignore the derailleur. The seat isn't attached yet...

Re: Monark Rocket Rat Yeah buddy! I'm afraid it might turn out to be the best part of the bike. If you run across any beat 26" rear fenders, this guy's lookin'.

Hey y'all, I'm just starting my first rat cruiser and will be trying to document some progress here. It will eventually have a motor, but for now I'm just focusing on achieving full bicycle functionality. (Moderators, please move this to "Bikes with Motors" if appropriate.) Picked up this frame...

Thanks fellas. Yep, NKU--- it's a great station, isn't it? One of the better ones around.

Hey all, I'm never really sure what to say in forum intros... Nevertheless, here I am. :) For the most part, I'm a mountain biker and garage tinkerer when it comes to bicycles. Full-time student until December 2011, then I'm free. I worked as a cook for a few years and at a ski lodge for six...
