A Proper Rat Rod

[Jude Ephesus]

That's a 50's Huffman in the corner. And no lock on it!

Oh, yeah! Forgot that one! That crazy rear wheel throws everyone for a loop!

I’ll add some flowers for camouflage!

Ok, so, the red in my ‘R’ nut looked lonely…

Got a little crazy with the wheels, I guess…..

Looks sick! What paint did you use? The color and shine are fancy.

British cotter pin vs. Chinese vice:

Score one (two, actually) for the Brit’s

Broke…. Twice and quickly turning into the biggest nightmare ever….

Any idea why there are 2 different size axles?

This is the axle out of the womens bike…. It’s a bit newer

The bottom brackets are the same size… the one I took out of the proper rat rod looks aftermarket

Here’s the original BB hardware with the shorter axle pulled out of the blue women’s Raleigh.

I just have it mocked up and all parts are just finger tight.

I’m not sure the axle I pulled out of the PRR was correct?

This shorter axle pulled out of a seemingly all original Raleigh seems to work ok?

@ingola does this clearance look ok compared to the Raleigh’s you have?

(Or any other Raleigh owner!)

Super soak on the original chain ring (or at least the one that was on it!) and crank arms

Thanks! I'm on my way but I don't know where you are, so I'll just drive around until I see it.
