Re: "!RATITUDE!"...5/16 UPDATE

...and yes,Jon,I can put it back together...Pappy 8)

But how many "extra parts" will it have?

 

[Markm]

Sweet-Seat!!!! :mrgreen:

 

[herr_rudolf]

Nice frame! It's kinda like a mixte but without the 'extra' seat stays. Beautiful seat by the way...
Good luck with the build.

 

[jon]

Wow pappy you never cease to amaze me :shock: ........."Never"

I like the seat.

 

[fenderhole]

i agree with everyone else. that is a awesome seat!

 

[txwayno]

I love that frame. That seat tube needs cut way down though, lol. That would add to the "please rake me" affect though, lol.

I agree. That thing has a rigid look to it doesn't it? I love it.

Re: "!RATITUDE!" 05/27 sort of update

Yeah SingleSpeed...I'm okay...thanx for asking.I've been busy on this build as I'm trying some different things on this bike and it seems like as soon as one problem is solved another pops up.I got my Shimano FF 5 speed cluster put back together (that was FUN!) and am now having some chain clearance issues,ya know,the same stuff all y'all deal with on your builds...eventually we figure it out or switch tacks and try something else.I've got alot of stuff at my buddy's plating shop but it's not what you think...I'm having stuff de-chromed...more on that later.I can't remember how to post pics...PonyTail Mike has been helping me with what pics I've posted so far & he works evenings but I've been taking pics all along so hopefully I'll have a real update for y'all this weekend.I hope everyone's build is going along fine & cool ideas are being forged in
to FABULOUS RATSTERS...Keep the fun in it...Pappy 8)

i think after the build off, you should rake it out, like it was meant to be. :mrgreen:

Great stance. Tire combo looks great on that frame.
