It reminds me of the fast car in town that had been sitting in a barn for 30 years, it came out and stirred memories of all the locals ,some good,some bad...I like it ALOT
I think you hit the rusty nail on the head with this one, it's definitely rat! I love the homebrewed details, and I would trade my rack for yours in a second. :lol: Awesome finished product!
It looks old and crusty, but yet at the same time it looks like it would roll smooth and quiet. I think the way you tied in the faux-patina with the accessory colors turned out perfect. Nice job! 8)

Thanks for all the comments guys, I'm still waiting to get more local reviews, was going to ride to church tonight (usually ride there on Sunday nights) but it was raining, I really want to get some idea of how it shows in person. The neighbor kids like it, Cody saw half or more of the build, so he saw the gradual growth of it, but the first adult to see it with fresh eyes was my wife and I had to explain to her why it looked "old." I guess I was going for that since a 1976 cantilever bike really isn't a classic, haha.
Oh, and according to the manufacturer sticker I wire brushed off only a few days into the build, tomorrow is the 76er's birthday. Happy 35th birthday, I'll join you in a couple months. For your birthday I got you, well... everything!

Happy Birthday 76er. Great job on the bike you really did an awesome job keeping it ratty and true to the build off. I knew you would hit this one of the park. I can't wait to come down so that we can cruise together. You definitely got my one of my three votes.

I'm surprised a photo hasn't emerged yet of someone else with a fender that either had flames cut into it or louvers. I know they must exist, I don't believe anything on my bike, no matter how hard I tried, is original.
Glad I came up in the conversation.
Yeah, that fender is worth 10 votes. Good luck getting to double digits. I got more than one, so I am happy.
You have a ton of cool ideas to steal (I mean learn) from.
As soon as it stops raining, I am going for a ride on Beer Run.

If I was around, I'd ride with you. It just stopped raining here, but I have 3 kids asleep upstairs, the furthest I can go is into the backyard to make sure I burned out all the ground bees last night.
Glad to hear that you're riding your bike around too!
It would be col to ride together like Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper.
Everytime I look at your bike I see something that I missed or forgot about.
It was cool when Jake and I were drinking beers in Philly there where many times that we had sentences that started - "Did you see __________ on 76er?"
