i find that i ride my bikes alot more now that i brought them up to my shop!! you'd all be proud, my bikes stay proudly displayed in the front window for all to see when they arent sitting out front! i got the old schwinn that you all saw before, only now i got the front springer supports made out of copper, tryed to do the large bent bars out of 1 inch copper also, but couldnt get it to bend enough without snapping...ohwell. the other gold bike i found in the garbage!! it was super ugly teal-ish color with ugly racks and who knows what other parts on it, but i love the frame, so...there it is. and the head light is off a harley, and the valve caps on the schwinn are my old mosin nagant 7.62x54R rifle casings, just thought they was cool.

you know, i've seen a couple of ratty vespas and some pretty cool bicycles in front of the local parlor, but no rat bikes yet. there does seem to be a kind of rat rod sensibility around town, but it hasn't spread to bicycles yet. maybe i should chain my rusty cruiser up over there and see if i can help spread the joy

lol, that would be great, i think you should spread the good word!! oh, and by the way, anyone who happens by my shop or is in the area will recieve a nice little rat rod bikes discount on their tattoos!!
