This is meant as a COMPLIMENT!...Your bike reminds me of a "cartoon" (sketch) bike. I keep picturing some kid, with a big smile and his baseball cap crooked, rolling and bouncing rather quickly, down a dirt road. Dust streaming from each tire. This is really a GREAT build!

Thanks Kota. Just gotta hide the wires, run the chain, and do some fine "toon"ing. Work til close tomorrow, so hopefully Thursday.

That bike is filled with rat spirit from end to end. I love it!
The only change I would make is to find an old rusty can to replace the pepsi can. Maybe just "antique" or wrap it in some rusty metal.
Thumbs up on this lil rat!

Take a look. I'm calling it done!
