Higgoosa

[mark cooper]

OK here it is my first rat rod build, what a blast this was.

60ish 24" jc higgins frame w/ 26" mongoose mountain bike fork. found the seat at flea market. tires, rims, and pedals from 1966 sears donor bike. took a front and rear fender and put them together to make wrap around rear fender. old school water bottle on the front is from WWII. Chain ring and guard from an old closed down bike shop. wrap on the bars is padded gauze tape wrapped with waterproof vinyl tape. only new part on bike is the chain.

Thanks for looking - Mark

love the fender. did u weld 2 together? awesome ride bro!!!

 

[kingplinker]

yeah, that fender is great idea! Great bike!

 

[mark cooper]

wanted to weld fender but i couldn't because it wouldn't fit down onto the tire. I had to make a bracket so it would bolt together and had to install fender and tire at the same time so it would go down on the tire, it took a few tries to get it centered right but not that bad.

Great use of an otherwise not so elegant frontfork. The canteen-idea is so cool...
