Chopped Rat Rod

Murray frame I cut out the top and seat tube and replaced the seat tube with the top tube. Bent conduit with a higher arc to use as the top tube. Spray painted the bike, rims and chain ring. Bent the handlebars inward so they'd reach back a little farther. Painted the red band hub orange.

Wow...incredible bike!!

Did you lace the wheels yourself or did you just mask off each spoke?

Great job....love the color scheme.

Thanks guys.
Yes I painted the rims and then laced them.
I still want to add some other touches to the bike but haven't decided what yet. Most of my bikes I do with a theme so I know what I'm aiming for. This one I really don't know.
It's one of my most comfortable bikes if not the most comfortable.

the more I look at this bike the more I love it!
It has a real vintage look to it.
It looks like it would fit in in the museum you went to!
maybe have somebody letter the chainguard with the wheel paint
