Re: Ok Ill play (no name)

Re: Ok Ill play *new frame* (no name)

Well the trike idea is just not sinking in. I stumbled upon another shelby frame. Badged as "eagle" and will be building it up soon. This will be my entry. nothing fancy just a plain ole rat. hope you like it.

There is a great story that goes with it for sure...

 
Re: Ok Ill play *new frame* (no name)

Great ole rats are cool!!
Slick frame, awesome chainring.
GTB!
 
Re: Ok Ill play *new frame* (no name)

Clear coat frame, scrub up the bits and pieces, add a frame plate, grease and ride. :mrgreen: I was going to jump on it this week anyhow so i figured I would save the trike build for winter and get this new one ready to enjoy the rest of the summer.
 
Re: Ok Ill play *new frame* (no name)

all internal goodies are soaking and waiting to be polished up. Frame has been lightly scrubbed to remove loose debris and uncover the headbage a bit. I am enjoying a bike build finally. Its been a while since i have been able to say that. :D

Re: ***Margo***

hangin for the clear



bearings after soaking in vineger overnight then cleaned. Turned out to be silky smooth after greased and installed.



Cant even tell it was cleared :D just the way I wanted it. Used a matte clear for protection purposes and to act as a bonding agent for the flaky paint. :D

 
Re: ***Margo***

Great job of taking away just enough paint to bring more character out of the frame. True Rat True Dat!
 
Re: ***Margo***

Awesome. You can't buy paint like this! Fauxget it!
