Just had to see what this bike was going to look like on these fat wheels and tires . I'm trying to use a thread less stem on a threaded fork , because the steering tube is long , it came of a chick bike . I think it will work but the change will be a head set that fits . I may have to combine a 1 inch & 1-1/8 inch because this bike has large bearing cups . Time will tell !!!

Really? I'm not digging the fender, but the rest of the bike is good stuff. I like the idea of using an incomplete springer to lower a front end. I'm not sure if that was your ultimate plan, but it gives me ideas.

No not planing on using the fork that way I have the rest of the parts . But I have to admit I like the look of it too . It wasn't by design but sometimes things look good by accident.

Nice! How will the Roadmaster fork be configured? Hopefully "trussed" in some way for safety sake. Who makes the FAT rims? I like em...

I have all the parts , springs for the fork I will be installing them there getting powder coated @ this time , but it looks cool without them also . I think is your were to leave it that way it would need to be welded

Stainless steal spokes & seals bearings . Ordered them from my local bike shop got them for 135$ single speed fair price

Patina or powder coat ? That's what I've been contemplating from the beginning of this build . I've gone back & forth in my mind several times , but the more I look at this flat rat the more I like the patina . It just seems to fit this bike well . Clear coat it & some shiny new parts & the more it's starting to grow on me . If I was to powder coat it it would be a deep gray to keep a vintage feel . Decisions ,decisions ???

I am digging this. The drilled fender is inspired and you have nailed the stance.

Either way will be cool with this build!

So after thinking it over some more and seeing all the awesome work going on from all the other builders . I've decide to add some color to the 51 CwC flat rat . It helps having a neighbor who runs a powered coating shop & will do my frame a large pizza , what a bargain But I wish I would have taken a few more pictures of my fabrication one the welding parts .
Hear are a few more pictures

Powdercoat a frame for a large pizza?
Great deal!

Luke.

Must be really good pizza.

Supreme , if he wasn't such a big guy he would probably do it for a small pizza lol

The CwC is coming a long mad a custom lay back seat post , flat tank , & number plate witch will also hold a battery for the lights . This is going to be a flat track style motor cycle race bike theme. She will be rolling on some wide 2 -1/4 inch wheels & 2.4 x26 inch tires . I have some parts being powder coated & the frame will be next . Nothing is to easy so far but got to love a challenge !

I like the build, and your customized parts, the light is cool and the plate, seatpost, and tank panel.....especially in this "rust-raw" form! Be curious to see paint on it...

Nice! I like the different sized holes you drilled in the fenders. The frame/fork combo looks great on this "flat rat" , and I see the spacer stack above the crown worked out nicely as well. Progressing along!

While the bike is off getting blasted & some magic powder put on her & I'm still waiting on a few key miscellaneous parts I thought I would work on the electrical system 6 V battery and lights. unfortunately the battery was just a little to wide for the battery box so I had to sand it down on the belt sander probably not the best thing to do but it worked so now it fits inside my battery box/number plate here are a few pictures
