Worked a bit on the seat. I may still "dress up" the seat post somehow...

Good luck, Rg

Looks great! I see no need to "dress up" the seat post, its so clean and classy If anything I would maybe try and polish it up.

That's an amazing piece of rolling art

I like the way you put a bike together

Honestly, most of the bikes I build for me are usually not comfortable, but this is ratrodbikes not jeezineedarecumbentbecausemykneeshurt. Bikes I do for other people are more relaxed and comfortable.

I build them for a specific look, but I do ride them despite my 50+ year old knees.

I believe the word tasteful is well used here.

Thanks CeeBee, I'm trying to keep it low-key as far as the "non-essentials" go, but I don't feel like it's one of my builds unless there's something sharp and pointy aimed at my gizzard.

No new pics yet, but I may lose a few votes on my newest addition...

Good luck to all, Rg

I think 'sharp' applies to the whole bike.

Very Cool, One of a Kind Ride.

 

[raggedjim]

I kept looking at the front forks and the way they open to the front. I kept thinking that the front wheel could pop out of the front (I have a vivid imagination) so I made some safety tabs from some old struts to hold the front wheel on, just in case. Not very exciting but I had to do it, for my own peace of mind.

I struggled with this, but finally said "Hey, it's just a bike" and tacked it on. I think it's gonna stay, I drive a station wagon, might as well have a rack.

Good luck to all, Rg

Is that one of those trombone racks?

 

[VR6GTiGuy]

I like the look of the rack. Are you going to leave it open like that? Not very functional, but looks cool.

Yeap, it came from a (gasp!) Huffy, Rg

If it looks cool then it is funtioning perfectly...

That rack is awesome! Fits right in with the rest of the awesomeness!

 

[kingfish254]

The open rack is reminiscent of the Rust Rocket Deluxe auction bike. Cool.

One of my favorite bikes...

 

[dracothered]

Keep up the good work as it is looking sharp....

 

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

bike looks great. rack is neat. would also have looked cool lower, going around the wheel like the RRB auction bike of a few years ago. totally useless at that point, but it's a rat, so why not.

edit: oops, sorry, I see someone mentioned that build before me.
