RATMASTER

[KJV]

1934 CWC ROADMASTER..

Built to ride ...
With minimal parts;
to eliminate weight.
Wanted to keep using the original rear kickstand. Therefore , the rear fender remains.
aluminum Shimano coaster brake wheelset...
Straight chrome BMX Fork..
The Bars were made in 1978, to go on a mini bike that we had around the house.... now mounted on BMX stem.
New tires/tubes.
Pedals are from 1968 Murray muscle bike.

Sorta has a Bobber look.

Luv this build! It has a Ratfink vibe and really demonstrates that sometimes "less is more". The modern parts mesh with the vintage parts for a super clean look. Well done!

It’s got the right amount of chrome and the right amount of rat!

As previously noted ^, a well-balanced RaT ! Or should I say, " ".

Well, you've never seen those bars on anything else. Those are one off;

Built those handlebars in 1978, to put on a mini bike.


Someone called them Z Bars. These are not Z Bars.

Thanks to y'all : for comments.

It sure does ride like it is on Rails. With the Shimano aluminum wheelset..
The bars and the stem I had stuck down in those Forks in the corner of the garage ;
I was planning to use them on a 20in chopper build.

I actually just stuck them on here curious of what it would look like and how it would stand. Well, we all know the rest of the story.
