Not very "Rat", but given the shortage of cool frames in Australia we have to work with what we have.
I have been checking out the KONA EightyEight at my not so local bike store for a while, and when the price dropped to something I could sort of justify, I grabbed one.
Of course I couldn't leave it stock.
Here is the original (from an add)
Here it is with the fenders removed, a set of Fat Franks and a Nexus 3 speed hub laced in.
Not a lot of alterations, as it already had a Brooks Saddle and cool bars + those awesome faux woodgrain wheels.
I am thinking about maybe throwing on a set of springer forks
