Re: "RATS-ALT" (REAR rack, chainguard?) Not that it matters what I think but I was really digging those apes. The forks on this are some of the most awesome things I have ever seen in my life. I have one of these racks laying around too. I wouldn't mind making some for a future ride. Everything...

It's a Sears Flightliner frame...did Murray make them?

thanks guys. I am digging it. It's not the size of the chainring so much as the small size of the wheels. I was skeptical to ever use these wheels but I did a mock up without bolting anything and I liked the way it made the bike sit plus I have them collecting dust so might as well use them. I...

I am off of work on Mondays and the rain held out awhile so I got busy today! I do not weld but I need to learn. I took a couple of things over to my uncle's in order for him to help me out with the welds. First thing we grinded the chrome off the head tube of my forks. Then cut them and welded...

yup, I will be rollin on twenties. I thought they would make the bike sit the way I wanted and I like the red rims for this one too, plus I had them laying around so they are free.

Yeah, it's funny. I was just looking at yours not two seconds ago thinking to myself that it looks super cool raked down like you did yours. I really like these frames.

Well, I was going to build a different bike but I noticed the build off and it got me thinking so I decided to switch gears and do something different with the parts I have laying around. I came up with the name because I am 1/2 Native American and I enjoy that half of my heritage. I am going to...

Got some free time this weekend and sanded the frame down. I went to the store to get some of the spray on truck bed liner and they were out of it. I looked around and settled on some textured metallic graphite. Sprayed a bunch of coats and a few clear coats. I am pretty happy with how it turned...

forgot to mention if anyone needs anything off the FL or OCC bike I am not using let me know. I will listen to all offers.

So here is my first build here on the site. I found an old bike at the flea market and had no clue what it was. It appears to be a 1960 flightliner after some googling and even finding this site in the process. I have been looking for something with a tank on it for awhile now and this is what I...

Hey, good to hear. I actually just found the rat riders myspace and facebook by doing some googling. I see you guys do rides a few times a month. I plan on being done with my new build by the next one so I might just be there to meet everyone.

Re: EAST CINCY NEWBIE hey, glad to see another cincy guy. I'm on the west side though, by price hill and delhi. I am working on my first rat build at the moment. I hit the flea markets and yard sales for parts.

Love the rebar forks. I am disappointed you bailed on the ape hangers! I am going with them on my first build and it looks like the site is heavily against apes because haven't seen many. Nice work so far though.

thanks guys. I know what you mean. I almost bought a girl's schwinn today from the 50-60's but I passed up. I made myself not buy it. I was thinking I already have a cool project to work on and unless it's something really ...... I won't get it. I am itching to work on the bike project but it's...

I have always wanted to build an old rat rod chevy truck but I don't have the money or the know how. I have built a rat rod old suzuki motorcycle but times were rough so I sold it. I am sad and wanna do something rat. I saw that american pickers show (which I hate) and those guys found an old...
