Re: POCO RATA "Little Rat"
Thanks Buddy! May need to.
I was inspired last year by "Dr. Tankenstein's" build. Bucking all the trends, girls bike, 20", neither has ever won before. I thought he did a great job on it. He ended up with a great bike, he built for someone else (daughter?) Anyway, I was impressed.
So, I am building this one for my grandson (like he needs another bike! :mrgreen: )
Murray Eliminator, I got from my buddy "udallcustombikes", & various parts I have lying around.
Here is the starting point: Frame:
Forks from a Murray Porkchopper:
WCC Wheels:
& anything else I can scrounge up to hopefully end up with a cool bike for my favorite (& only) grandson. More details soon.

Re: POCO RATA "Little Rat"
That's why I like them. This one will have dropout extentions to fit it in there somewhat like last year's build. I think the front will fit no problem.
This may be a bare metal frame since I haven't done that before & I'm lazy anyway. :lol: Hoping to have a motorcycle/bobber look to it. Not spending much money on this, just using parts I already have around & not planning on purchasing anything other than nuts, bolts, etc.
Super low budget Little Rat!

Re: POCO RATA "Little Rat"
There's another 20" bike being built as a cafe racer, this frame could easily do the same and would be cool! You shortening the forks?

Re: POCO RATA "Little Rat"
When I was doing the same frame for Grand-son I was thinking the same thing. Even thought about cutting slots in back of drop outs. Plenty of meat to work with there.

Re: POCO RATA "Little Rat"
Randy: I may try that first. I see what you mean. Will have to test fit back tire to see if it's far enough back. Thanks for the tip!

Re: POCO RATA "Little Rat"
Since this is supposed to be a motorcycle type build, I thought it should have a tank. Not sure if I like it or not! Opinions? I believe it is a flightliner tank (not sure) that I can modify to fit with a little 20ga. metal & a few welds. Pretty sure I'm going with the bare metal build.
What do you guys think???? Tank, different tank or no tank @ all?
