Barefoot Delivery

Well, it's been a sweet summer and I loved watching everyone's build come together almost as much as I like messin' around with mine. It's a great line-up this year and I'm honored to to be a part of it all.

What started with a wrecked Electra after being rear-ended is finished off by spending the insurance companies check on bike tools and parts! Good things can really come from bad places sometimes. Hope you enjoy, I sure was stoked to pin on the last hub shiner!

Classy cargo bike! I love the details!

 

[herr_rudolf]

Man, that is nice...
One of the classiest bike in the build off! And it's a cargobike. The color is beautiful. Works well with the wood detailing. The seat fabric is awesome. So many details... I wanna check it again.
Well done!

 

[scrumblero]

Classy!!!

 

[gowjobs]

That's surprisingly sleek for having a wood platform on the front. Rat-classy!

 

[Petrohead]

Wow. Very classy. Excellent details!

 

[jerrykr]

Great! Love the box and the seat cover (among other details!)

 

[RatRod Diva]

Clean machine. I really like the color scheme with the argyle fabric.

Thanks everyone! I'm really stoked about how it all turned out. Unlike past builds, this one came out better than I imagined it could which is always nice.

-Wheels are done with good ol' contact paper (the kind people used to line their drawers with) I found online. I borrowed the idea from a forum member here who did it years ago on a sweet Dyno stretch frame.

-Seat and hub shiners are Argyle fabric from Jo-Annes with a super-glue-like hold of spray adhesive and staples.

-Grips are the tops of two old shovels in my garage because Electra's wooden grips are $50! :shock:

I really love this bike and I tried to keep it simple with some nice touches so I'm excited that people are noticing! I have a goal of learning to stripe this year and this will be a canvas for some nice lines someday, but it's hard to learn that art in a few weeks. :mrgreen: So, as all of our rat-rods go, this is indeed a work in progress for the rest of it's life... :lol:

Thanks again and good luck to everyone that entered!

Makes me want to put on a kilt, fill up the front basket with KiltLifter 8th St. Ale and light up a stogie; and ride this baby.

Cargo Classic! Tip of my bowler hat to ya' Sir.
