I'm not sure if this counts, but here goes

In a former life this was probably a Sears bike sold as a "Legran Seville". A 12 speed "touring" bike that I transformed into something a bit more respectable.

The future planned changes are I want to add some maroon wall tires and also get a sporty/cooler looking chainring. The one I have is pretty garden variety.

Anyhow, a before and after pic

I went single speed, had it powder coated, added some leather wrapped grips (Toshi) and a Brooks B17, cooler bars and some assorted shiny bits. Not a rat rod but I think it's presentable

Chris!

I like it. Looked good before for what it was. Looks much better now.

I love how it looks now. I can't wait to get my BSA frame and start building it.

 

[Mr_Christopher]

Thanks guys. I think this is the year when I'll be doing my first rat rod. I'll be asking lots of questions no doubt.

Chris!

I like the way it started - but without all the frills, but the end is very COOl!
Keep posting the progress!

Really cool. Bikes are so much easier to do than cars!

Still a pain in the ..., but that's 50% of the fun.

Bike looks great man. I think you saved it.
