old buckethead (all vintage,all natural!)

[texasbigjon]

one more go around for this old frame! :lol: i tend to build a lot of bikes that mix newer parts with vintage parts,because thats what i truly enjoy. i usually refer to these builds as hot rod bikes,not rat bikes. this time i decided to build in a more traditional rat bike style,using lots of vintage parts in their natural patinas.heres some finished pics i took today while riding around!

Very cool bike as usual! There are a lot of cool details on this one and I really like how the headlight is behind the truss rods.

That silver dollar is cool--I'll steal that idea for next years buildoff-maybe on the brakearm strip---cool idea---sam

Very well done....the living room is going to get crowded cause I know your not going to leave it in the garage ha ha.

 

[texasbigjon]

your wrong this time paul! :shock: it has been denied entry into the vip room. the others decided it was too trashy and banished it to the garage! :lol: the firebike even threatened to kick its @##! :lol: :lol: should have named it the orphan!

Very cool!
I like the way that thick chainguard matches the heavy (yet bobbed) rear fender.
