"RATS-ALT"

Re: "RATS-ALT" (frame burned)

I like the fancy frame stand you made there for your burning! :shock:

And everybody thought it was a rear rack. NOPE, it's a launch pad!

Pic is deceiving, frame is more like a raw metal, than brownish.

Re: "RATS-ALT" (frame burned)

Somehow this makes fancy paint, decals, carefully conceived artificial patina, and maybe even real patina, all seem ordinary...

I like it!
But I like to play with fire and blow things up too :wink:

Re: "RATS-ALT" (painted)

Well here's the paint scheme, I think it's subtle, not flashy. I have to re-do the rear fender, paint peeled because I took the tape off to soon (.....). It's all primer with a coat of flat clear.

Hey Jake, now you got the whole idea behind this build, simple.....No "special" parts. Frame is a jc higgins. Tank and chainguard came from a Murray Fliteliner (RU Slammed), along with fork (sterling road bike) made for that bike. Bars are from a Schwinn Bantam. Fork supports and rear rack(?) from two Spaceliner racks. And a generic light that keeps bouncing from bike to bike....Everybody has these parts. Next pics will be finished pics. :roll:

YEAH I'M CHEAP, THAT'S PART OF BEING A RATTER.

I might steal this line for my sig.

Re: "RATS-ALT" (painted)

Kota, the paint may be muted, but it works perfectly with this bike.
There is definitely nothing subtle about the styling you have done with this build.
I can't wait to see it assembled now.

In my Elvis voice: "Well, Thank you, Thank you very much. :lol:
With all the pinstriping going on and UNBELIEVABLE fabrication, you guys are forcing me to go (stay) "old" school....But that's what I like anyway. I am dumbfounded at many of these builds. Louvered fenders, hammered copper and cast aluminum tanks, double wide rims, extended dropouts, skate board seats and of course all the NEW forks and fork designs, exotic frames, the list goes on and on. Karfer I appreciate your vote...No matter where this bike finishes, I'll be proud just to say: I was a "participant" in RRBBO6....THANKS!

Oh yeah!.. Just finished re-painting my back fender. Now if I can just let the paint dry this time. :roll:
