Both mine are Wald. If they were Schwinn, that would be a double score! :shock:

I do have a pair of Bratz lowrider wheels I'd come off of or a pair of mis-matched freewheel rims too if you want them cheap.

I'm looking for a good matching pair w/ coaster brake for that Krate.

These are the Bratz wheels, they could use a good vinegar bath but they don't look bad.



I was gonna use those but these look better.

I saw this today at the local antique shop and I just had to have it. It just has that cool look.

The Atomic garage stickers and the spike it already had, the RatRodBikes sticker I added.

A friend of mine was cleaning out his brother's barn and found this so he asked if I wanted it. It was free so as I always say if it's free I'll take it. Looks like a 1970's Huffy, rear coaster hub is a Suntour brand if that helps date it. Loaf seat is in decent shape. I might try that vinyl paint to dye it black and use it on something else. Same with the fenders. Good rat rod material.

Nice little bike. I have seen that before in a few department store Wishbook's people have scanned like the 1981 Wards catalog that looks close but the reflector is in a different spot.

He has more on his Flickr gallery.

Thanks, boy times have changed haven't they? Just a few pages before the bike (page 372) you could buy a build it yourself cannon for $200! :shock:

Same as these ones in the lower left with the "Open Road" placard on it.

They would make a nice little set of short ape hangers...

That bike is from the early 80s, judging by the chain ring.

I had someone give me the same bike recently, only with a different paint scheme, I think it's called Sun Daisy or something like that. I like the chainring, I'm using it on my BO bike.

Not a bike but still cool enough I couldn't pass it up. I have seen similar ones but I like this one, the third leg also folds for storage and it is light weight aluminum. I figured the seat alone was worth the $10 I paid for it.
