Hello My name is Pepe.
I am new at this Rat Rod Bike.About 6 months ago I went to an auction to buy my niece a bike so she could commute to work.I wound up buying 4 '65 ladies Schwinns,and 2 Hawthorns.The bike I wanted for her was way to small.So I stored all the bikes in my '59 Shasta.
I started remenising as to how my bro,buddies and I used to "customise"our own bikes.Being that I am in a college town.I thought."there are bike parts allways being thrown away,Why not combine some with these schwinns,paint them a basic color and give them away to the college students?
So thats what I am doing.There is a kid at work that suggested I look up a forum about bikes ,because he said I would find a lot of valuable info.AND I HAVE!!!Thank you all.
Pics coming soon of my first project.
