Prewar Ratrod unknown make

[jmagruder10]

This lady I work with told me her next door neighbor had three bikes they were throwing away. The owner are in there 80`s and moving out of the state. Check out this prewar ratrod , he said he liked the looks of the stingrays and built this bike in the 1960`s Skiptooth sprokets , drop center rims and nice Solo Polo seat. I also grabbed the monark in the back of the picture. So now what brand is it ? The frame is Long with rear facing dropout and chain adjusters. I like the curved fender braces..

I love that bike. Don't part it out, ride it!

Although, yeah, that seat is worth more than everything else on the bike.

The seat is not mint but pretty nice also has the oiginal persons tag on the back and the sissy bar is marked persons USA I think it is off a early stingray. I have no more room for new bikes so it will be for sale , not sure if I will sell it all together or part it , I am going to take it out for a ride tonight and go from there. If you are in kc and want to see it send me a PM. Oh and it rides great.

really cool that it came to you allready rodded out, like that. :mrgreen:

The curved rear frame stays and fender braces are pure CWC, who also built some Western flyers, hawthornes, and others... That wing chain guard is probably aftermarket. Nice! ~Adam
