Budget Rat Rod

[knobbie]

Hello folks! first post here.
I stumbled upon this site yesterday while searching for bike info. What a cool place! :mrgreen:

So here is my budget rat rod. I have a whopping $30. invested so far.
Looking for some help. What do I need to make this bike more rat friendly?

Your bike looks great as it is! I really like it. The only thing I might be tempted to do if it were mine is add a Brooks saddle, but that would most likely cost you more than double what you have into it already :|

Edit: And maybe a different tire on the back or both... Regardless, I'd take it out just as is

Cheers,
Volt

I agree, I think it's pretty cool as it sits right now! 8)

Thanks you guys!

Yes, I think a cooler seat would be in order. I'm always on the lookout for bike parts. I'll see if I can dig something up.
What type tire would be cool for the back?

A sulky slick would look pretty cool!

And the bike needs more rust :wink: welcome to the forum!

The slick is cool. I did find another seat for it at the flea mkt. Only 7 bucks. Its way better than the other one.

You built a tanker bike for $30 bucks? You will have many disciples here.
