old school

sometimes its fun to find something that was crudely ratted long before it became cool!
found this old cruiser with a brush paint job nifty black and whit seat they added a ballooner fork and peaked fender to the front and even put horribly awesome pinstripes on it!
and this was a first..... they put the brake arm on the outside of the frame lol
added some tires, bobbed the rear fender, cleaned the wheels, fixed the brake and reinstalled the apes that came with it!
now to see if that rusty chain loosens up

Love it .... Ratty like a Las Vegas dumpster. Patina Patin Patina....

Did the coaster brake even work that way?

 

[Hooch]
