1951 Mooneyes Disc Schwinn Straight Bar Rat - The Finn Special - New owner wins a trophy

[kingfish254]

Getting this awesome custom rat from @highwheelerboy25 .
It's his Schwinn Straight Bar . Love the fauxtina and lettering, clipon triple tree bars, and of course the Mooneyes discs!!
Luckily I have coworkers in Eastern Tennessee and one of my office mates was already planning a trip to that office in a few weeks.
I have to wait almost a month before I get this baby, but it will be worth it. Great details on this build!!!

I am pretty excited about getting this one. It's really going to be hard having to wait a month before I actually get to see it and ride it though.

Lots of cool details. The disc and ThickSlicks are awesome together.

I know you don't like motorized bike builds broth but man that thing would look bad to the azz with a motor on it. I agree with randytherat it is screaming Bonneville salt flats
I do apologize for the coverup of a swear but I do not know any other way to explain it

I am one step closer to having this in my possession. @highwheelerboy25 made the trip through a snow storm yesterday to deliver the F. Finn Special to our office 1.5 hours away from him. To me, that is going above and beyond the call of customer service. THANKS JOSH!!!
Now I just have to wait for my coworker's trip to that office in a couple of weeks.

Very cool! Love the salt flat rat look!

 

[kingfish254]

Here it sits at one of our other offices.
It's mine, but I still can't touch it.

And fab a tailpipe.

 

[5speed]

dont put a 2cycle on it they sound like leave blowers

 

[kingfish254]

Honestly, I don't have any plans to put a real or fake motor on this bike. I was just joking around about the V-RROOM engine.
