Rat Rod Rail in as found cond.

[rustydawg]

Found this 20" buried in a mound of later model Roadmaster & Huffy dimestore bikes. Checked out an old farmer who years back also operated an auction barn, several hundred bicycles were in piles along the property. Two-thirds of the bicycles were sold for scrap before I new about the bicycles being there. Bicycles were $1ea. in bunches or $5 ea. for a few.

I bought $20 worth, this 'nanner seat bike, a Shelby I listed earlier, Cleveland Welding NoName 1940's boys, and a 1970's 10 spd. Mossberg.

I'm looking for a good condition white nanner seat if you'd like to part with it.....

 

[rustydawg]

This seat has a diamond stitch pattern which looks really cool. I think I'll just leave it as is and just add a new chain and a solid wheel rebuild.

Cool find! The Rail is on my list of bikes I want to get someday.

Ive been workin on my rail for a couple days now, this is what it looked like when i built it for the 20in build off but never got my stuff together to get a picture up. On mine the tips where broke out of the front of the frame, so i installed some LEDs in there looks kinda cool.

Nice score man 8)

 

[A.S.BOLTNUT]

man where do you guys find this stuff i'VE been collecting off and on for 15 years now and never seen any frames like those :?

 

[maddogrider]

Man i have had mine for a really long time, got it when my friend moved away in the 70's

Oooooh I think that bikes perfect looking all worn down like that. I'd leave it alone and put some new tires/tubes on it, regrease it and ride it!

Agreed. It is a cool shade of blue and the red wheels are a cool touch. You see a lot a black bikes with red wheels but not man baby blue with red ones. I would love to have that one sitting next to mine.

Ya never know , but his warn spot is for vintage mountain bike stuff or 24 inch cruiser, or he might trade for a complete stingray project.

 

[rustydawg]

I like my baby blue bikes, this is my second one. The crankset looks original, warp sprocket was beat back to keep the chain tracking straight. Think I'll just repack and ride 8)
