alright. im new to this site and somewhat new to building rat rod bikes. i recently got back from the junk yard where i purchased my 2 base bikes for my project for 10 dollars each. im hoping to have this build done buy may 2013 for a show im goin to. ok the first bike and main part of the frame is a huffy surf side. not sure what year it was made. looks fairly new considering it has rust. and the second bike is a fully suspended mongoose mountain bike (only using the rear suspension and drive spokets. maybe the grip shifters.. im sure i will need advise on this build for some things i havent delt with before. as far as plan of attack. it will have air ride front and rear. and sit really, really low. and most likely be very long. im gonna build a trike. maybe even put a small charcoal grill between the rear wheels since itll be used at shows and races. maybe a cooler instead havent decided yet. i kinda want fat wheels on the rear. may need help on that. also i may need help on the rear drive system. i need it to have the 10 or 21 speed setup from the mongoose for goin up a steep hill. ill definately want disk brakes..i am tryin to build this as cheap as possible. alltho the brakes i may get brand new.
