MY FIRST RAT AND PHOTOS!!

[I-SCHWINN-JU-LUZ]

THE FRAME IS FROM 1978. HEAD SET, CRANK AND SPROKET, AND THE CHAIN GAURD ARE ALL O.G.. :wink:

I STITCHED UP THE SEAT AND GRIPS MY SELF. I USED AN OLD PILOW CASE MY MOM MADE FOR ME. NO MACHINE, ALL BY HAND, AND A BUNCH OF PAIN KILLERS FOR MY BACK LATER.....YOU GOT UR SELF SOME BIKE DUDS. 8)

PAINT WAS THE HARDEST. I HAD TO KEEP TELLIN MY SELF " IT'S NOT SAPOSED TA BE PERFECT". I'M REALY HAPPY WITH THE WAY IT CAME OUT. IT HAS A GAMBLING THEME, SO THERE'S STILL SOME MORE WORK I WANA DO TO REALY BE FINISHED WITH IT. :idea:

MODELING PAINT, 2 SHARPIES, AND A CAN OF CLEAR. :mrgreen:

ALL THE CROME IS FROM A BUTCHERED WALI-WORLD "BRATS" BIKE THAT THE LADY NEXT DOOR GAVE ME FOR FIXIN HER KIDS "COOLER" BIKE. HANDELBARS, NECK, PEDDALS,SEAT TUBE, AND CHAIN CAME OFF OF MY BROTHERS 20" MOUNTIN BIKE THAT WE PROUDLY CALLED "FRANKINSTIEN". IT'S SACRAFICE WILL NOT BE FORGOTIN. R.I.P FRANKY....


PLEASE LEAVE A COMENT. GOOD OR BAD. I'M A BIG BOY I CAN TAKE IT. I JUST WANT FEEDBACK FOR THE NEXT PROJECT. :?:
