Coaster brake or free hub?
Coaster brake, They went on Dark Horse 2. along with the bars.
 
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.
 
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.

Cool...more pics please! :mrgreen:

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:

What do the handle bars look like from the front?
Same as these ones in the lower left with the "Open Road" placard on it.

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.
