Keep them both if you can afford to and you have the room, they are completely different animals. My courier hasn't gotten much love lately but I plan on getting a front rack for it very soon. So far I've added a seven speed and along with a rack I'd like a front drum like yours.... Very nice...

The recently completed Octavio MkII, built from a brand new 2012 Rat Fink that I traded most of the original Octavio for. The only parts carried over are the rear wheel and seat and it's ALL Electra save for the Behind Bars fork and Dirty Dog Reaper stem. Here's the story of the original build...

Well, I broke Octavio down about two months ago and was planning on a rebuild when a buddy of mine who was on the verge of breaking down and rebuilding a BRAND NEW Rat Fink expressed that he'd rather have a steel frame so a deal was made. I kept my wheels/tires and seat and we traded everything...

Can't wait to see what you've got in store, if I had a SUPER CLEAN RF I'd try to keep it as is but if I came across a rough one nothing would be sacred, lol....I'm actually considering breaking down Octavio in the spring and fixing a few of the things that have been nagging me....Sucks to be...

Re: Electra Rat Fink frame+forks FOR FREE!!! Muscle Fink?? Nice, wish I could score one for free! My second Electra was a 1st gen RF, I've since sold it but see it all the time now that another friend owns it. Looking forward to seeing this one come together!

Thanks!! I used to have a 1st gen RF too, it was great....plans for it?

MUCH improved....just gotta get my hands on some stanchion bumpers and I'll be DONE. Wes's pinstripe by Nesto2008, on Flickr

It's a work in progress, I suppose. Although I loved 99% of the pinstriping, I felt that the scallops in that front gusset were just too small so I removed them (total PITA, btw) and I'm gonna have them redone, I was really inspired by the job done on BBI's orange metallic "Hard Time" bike, and...

Riiiiiight.

LOL, Thanks Yooth, find out the cost to ship to NC :mrgreen:

I can't take credit for the pinstripes, but thanks!

Still missing a headlight which I NEED since I ride mostly at night in the summer. I'm thinking I'm gonna try the motorcycle headlight/LED conversion, not sure yet though....

Thanks, the seat is from an Electra Zarape, each one is unique because they are made from Mexican blankets (serapes, get it?)....wish I could have found one with more green, or some purple. I was planning on getting a RRB brass headbadge but now I don't know where I'd mount it because of all the...

This is sweet, it's got that sun baked, "shop truck" look to it....love the color, I was just talking the other day with a friend of mine about how cool baby blue would look on a bike. A friend of mine has a Felt bike project in the works with no direction yet, gotta show him this because he...
