That doubled up chain/ring is something I've never seen. Cool little touch to for something different. First year I've missed in over a decade because of a Vegas vacation :?

No, sorry. But I think I've seen that bike in the Gallery of photos here on RATRODBIKES.

I love the bikes. Are all the bikes in the top photo owned by one person or club, or did the Autorama promoters jam them together like that? Really different from the way bikes were exhibited at the Petri show. thanks for posting the pics.

Michigan is a wonderful place for rat and original lovers alike. A lot of rich history in the muscle cars and hot rods.. which carries over into bicycles and other collectibles.

No, all different owners.They were pretty tight together. The Hot Rod Sting-ray bike on the corner is a bike I just finished for my daughter.

I had a lil indian in the show last year. It's a black & yellow mooneyes themed mini bike.

Lots of neat ideas. I'm 38 now. Iam too old to come up with good ideas anymore although I had a few when I was younger and the remnants of one of those bike survives in never finished condition. I love to see all these cool neat ideas and ways of doing things differently.

The doubled up sprockets are something I never thought of.

Now a days I just build banana seat bikes. I only do them one of three ways. I either do them back to original or do them as period correct bikes with correct make and model parts but in different colors or I do them as bikes built from parts but all parts used must be from the correct era, nothing newer.

I'm stuck in my rut. It's cool to see people who think way outside the box.

Clever use of leather straps as supports for a tank.

I'm glad that bicycles were at the show, Detroit always gets great quality examples. But the crowding of the bikes together like that? The new promoters of Autorama sure have a different attitude than the guys who ran the Petri Bike show. There must have been some talk about how the bikes were being treated by the new people who run the show. Well, congratulations on the great bikes, they are really nice.

Those bikes parked over by the rods sure looked cool mixed in with the cars. Do you know who built them? Especially the one with the metal seat and discs. I missed Autorama this year cause I forgot about it. Oh well.

I don't know. That one was my favorite of those three. They were all in the some area, maybe a car club.

Those bicycle were my wife's and mine......we build bikes in Royal Oak under the name goCruisergo. The bare metal bike with the hand hammered tractor style seat and moon discs is a bike I built about 10 years ago. Thanks for the interest fellas.
