~ My Ratty Bike ~

[ratrod00supernova]

Here is my newly completed Rat Rod bike built by a member of the Salem Motorized Bicycle CLub of Salem Oregon. This is a Cranbrook frame that has been modified, chopped and customized greatly. He added the straight bar to the frame, raked out the head tube 30 degrees, custom built the seat with plate steel coverd with leather and brass rivets, the seat springs are trampoline springs. The tank is custom made as well ( probably less than 1/2 gallon ) We tried another type of handle bars but settled on the mini ape hangers which was a good idea. The exhaust also was chopped and the pipe was extended. Powering it is a 80/66cc Grubee SkyHawk.

My friend that built the bike, custom made it...he cut it out of either 12 guage or 18 guage steel, welded on trampoline springs, driled the holes for the brass rivets and covered it with leather and fastened the rivets. It is so comfortable.
