    After months of looking and considering buying a new "silver" rack then having it chromed, I found a clean ladies rear rack from a Super Deluxe, finally finished with this one!

    After patiently waiting since December my bell from Jimmy C came on Friday. I just asked for an eyeball and we went above and beyond! Love this thing!

    Finally got some sun around here after a lot of rain and gloom! I know it's a dime a dozen Rat Fink but MAN I love how that candy green pops in the sun! Can't wait to get the Betty put back together for a photo op.

    That's a great idea for the dropouts, was it difficult to do? Someday I'd like to find a cheap Cruiser1 for a barhopper!

    I was REALLY hoping to have the Betty back together this weekend but had a mixup with spokes so....

    Thank you! The plan all along was to just do a plain black seat and grips, basically building a green Ghostrider. I NEVER liked the orange trim on the Finks. The seat is just a new Electra XL saddle that had a white logo on the back that I was able to remove with a little acetone.

    FINALLY! Stick a fork in this one. The Red Betty update should be done this weekend, should be a perfect counterpart to my loudest/brightest bike! After taking this I threw a new Rat Fink bell on (I'm still waiting for my custom bell) and raised the seat an inch or so, then took it for a chilly...

    Just picked up the Betty wheels from powdercoat, much more Roy Munson bowling ball gold than the subtle bronze gold they were. There was no way I was gonna get the "new" wheel to match the factory color so I went for broke and had them both done with some added flake. Hoping to have everything...

    The spokes that I waited on FOREVER from Amazon (China) came on Saturday and I was so stoked....but only 18 came. More waiting....the bright side is, this bike should debut about the time the Betty's wheels are back from powdercoat. It'll be a wheel lacing party I guess! A couple months back I...

    All mocked up just missing the front wheel and a coaster brake strap. If you haven’t tried semi polish for chrome and aluminum, buy some! The forks, crank arms and hoops look like mirrors now! Just realized the pic I sent with my phone is super blurry, haha....Oh well I guess that makes it a...

    Great looking color....I've seen one of these recently on Orange County CA Craigslist with fenders and rack and I wanna say he wants like $450 which I think is nuts....

    A Buddy laced up and trued the Fink's rear wheel for me on Saturday, the hoop was previously used on a Ghostrider the belongs to a friend in CA. I bought a Shimano/Nexus 3i hub on eBay and new spokes from Amazon so I've got about $60 in that wheel. After work today I'll mount the tire. I need to...

    The ball is finally rolling on my Fink, I've got my wheels and hubs, new spokes, just gotta lace everything up. This week I'll probably place an order for apes, a seat and grips and I'll have 90% of it. If anyone is interested in the stock cranks and chainring, hit me up since I don't plan on...

    Looks like people have some cool projects brewing! I pulled the trigger on a new Nexus 3 speed hub and spokes and I'm hoping to have the wheels laced and ready this weekend. Once that's done this Fink will almost be a bike again!

    After a nice easy drive up to Riverside CA Friday night and drinks with a friend that night, I brought the bike home the next day. It's incredibly clean, no scratches to be seen. Clearly adult owned and maintained. I removed all the hardware for the forks and seat clamp and soaked them in CLR...
