Rat Rod from very, very south

[radical rick]

hi guys

i'm from argentina -south america-

this is my bike

such a nice ride!

i recently modified it -bmx handlebar, grips, brake lever and stem- so i decided to post it

i'm very proud 'cause i tightened each nut of the bike by myself, laced the wheels and even designed the stickers!

i built it from bmx, mtb and cruiser parts, some used, some new, some nos

please feel free to comment

saludos a todos!

i couldn't find out the origin of the frame

i found it this one on argentinian ebay and came with an ugly sticker that says "San Fer", and i suppose that it means the name of a bike shop in San Fernando... :roll:

a frame builder welded the cable guides and told me that become from brasil in the 90's, but they were made in taiwan -it had a serial number on one dropout-, someone imported a few and some bike shops bought them and just built them with stock parts

wich mongoose -name/year-? -to google it -

check below the reply to aka_locojoe to see the before -crappy- pic

thanks, i only see a couple like this one around here :shock:

sorry, but i took the pic from the ad, i paid $76 for the bike!!!

i only kept the frame, then i bought a used crappy one and built it with all the parts and sold it... and i bought another whole bike just for the fork! :lol:

i really enjoyed this project
