Re: 2012 RRB AUCTION BIKE!!! Support you local rat rodder!
I don't have any of the needed parts so I'm gonna chip in $30 on the striping.
Check your PayPal, it should be there.
I like the parts selections so far and your description. I think it's going to be more fun not seeing a sketch first. Not knowing what's next is part of the fun in following a build thread. Plus, I really don't know if I could build a pre-designed build. It's too much of try this try that flowing process for me.
GET TO BUILDING!!!!!

Probably not what you're looking for, but they could be flipped so they pull back and have "horns". Let me know if you want to use them on the build.

Still looking for bars?
I've got this set of a 1950 youth Monark, they're narrow, but have a nice arch and curve to them. As a bonus, they are plenty 'ratty'. looks like you have a stem, so I'll pull it off first.
Let me know and I'll get them out to you!
Cheers,
Dr. T

Narrow is good. You wanna be aerodynamic on the board track.

Re: 2012 RRB AUCTION BIKE!!! Support you local rat rodder!*pics*
true but! the way they face down the turn radius is shorter cause you have a tank and frame in the way! they dont clear above that! so the vintage bikes had pretty wide bars...well normal..but the searing radius has to be wide enough to not hit the tank or frame! im doing my homework!

They're 20.5" bar end to bar end, keeps those arms tight to the body when you're in your tuck. :mrgreen:
Let me know, either way, I'm sooo glad you're the one taking this on. Your bikes have a real 'natural' look to them, I wish I could let the bikes just 'be' like you do (hope that makes sense).
Being one of the builders of the first Auction Rat was one of the coolest things I've ever been part of, this bike will be the same for you.
P.S. Remember to PM me the address of your shop, I'd like to stop in when I'm town.
