i would really like to get a rat bike into this race but im already bringing one of my "retired" bikes to the hill for this event. im considering putting another one together and have someone else ride it. im thinking that a 26 cantilever frame with 20" wheels and fat tires would have a profile that would resemble an old cafe racer. any other ideas anyone?
if i am able to get a rat bike put together for this i want it to (with the obvious exception of it having no pedals) be consistent with the bikes in the home page gallery here...if a rat rodder were to see it i would that rodder to think "oh look, a rat." suggestions?

fast eddie outty
