Eska - rat bike from czechoslovakia

[Consigliere]

Hello, I´m from central europe and this is my first bike project. The problem in our country is that we had only these bike frames(or woman frames) without central wand or hooped frames.

It has Eska frame, Favorit handle-bars, some Yugoslavia tires. I made on it central wand, woody schedule between it and frame, give on it some old tire with something like whitewall, older back light, pocket under the seat and paint frame red(by brush).
I hope I´ll take horn, painted front light, some tag under handle-bars and draw something on the woodwall tomorrow, and i must clean it up from dirt too.

Today I have trip with my friends to some village(cca 12km away), half of the road was only a dirt, really gr8 on this tires :mrgreen: ...

Cool look! Very clever! Your English is just fine, no need for apologies. It's way better than my Czech.

 

[GodHatesCleveland]

Very nice! A rustic rat rod! I especially like the way you bolted on the bottom twin bar, that gives me some ideas.

I´ve got some news, I have new handlebars, new hand-maded front light and finish came soon, I just wanted lampshade for front light and some text on the side and it will be winished..
