Thanks! I think these and similar style frames make great rats and you've got to try pretty hard to mess it up. But matching patinas and keeping to a color scheme goes a long way.
Thank you! Maybe someday I'll go for the refurbish/restore look... but for now it's a Rat that I'll ride. Check out how well the tire fills out and adds a bit of width to the setup. These are the same tires, with a skinny rim on the bike next to my new rim. Note there's plenty of clearance on the frame too.
I forgot where I was going there
Thank you! Hand drilled with a pin vise, those are old round brass upholstery tacks... I have a coffee can full and I use them on steampunk guitars a lot, rarely on bikes but...
This is classic Carl. Always with those little touches that are so simple and add so much, and I NEVER think of doing them. Scratch that, I do think of doing them, then I do other stuff, and forget that I was thinking of things like this that I was thinking of...ummm...nevermind.
One thing I always admire about your builds, besides the far out concepts at times..are the little touches of class (or brass) sprinkled in here and there.
Love this one.

Yeah man..Today, woohoo!
Peace and love.

I hope you don't go 'cracking any skulls' ...if you know what I mean!If you're going to borrow a great idea do it soon so you don't forget... @Scribble put some slick reflectors on the grips of his MultiColorflo. Awesome and retro. So I have these soft Skully grips... 4 washers and 2 drawer pulls later...
Glass skulls...
