My first rat!

Pg. Burch · Jun 3, 2009

New guy here. From Atlanta, just getting into it. So here you go. This is my first bike build and it is almost done. I just need to finish up the brake, get some new wheels, lay down some pinstripes and make some pedals for it! Definitely looking forward to building more. I would love to hear any ideas or feedback! Thanks!

The back wheel is 24" and the front is 26". I'm thinking maybe a springer front end????

haha -- nice! Very original. Do you have a close up shot of that saddle?

Ever heard of 'the roadster pinch'? You get that from hanging your elbow/arm over the top of the door of your open-top hotrod. Because of the flex in chassis and body, the door and body's gonna pinch your arm. I don't want to know WHAT gets pinched driving your bike with such a saddle!

Cool build. Very original and beautiful example of the ever popular spiderweb-theme. Good job! Doesn't need a springer. Maybe you can start a new project and join the 'Ratrod bike build off #4'. If that's still possible...
