Sekine GTO....That is.
Built in Winnipeg Canada in 1977. Disc brake, top tube 5 speed, lights, musical sequential signal lights, brakelight, horn, speedo/od (with 2025km showing) , AM Radio. No A/C, lighter or ash tray though.
It takes 4 D Cells for the tail and brake lights, a 9 volt for the radio and a generator for the headlights.
I know it's not a rat, but I had to bring it out for show and tell.
So I rode this bike over to the first Vintage Bike Show in Toronto and ended up finding an old Western Flyer frame that a few members here will recognize.'48 Hawthorne recognized it too when he dropped off a tank. I built it as a 3 speed and then changed it up again.
