THE DEAN - 10/26

[Rat Rod]

Thought I'd better start a proper build thread for this one.

Using a Ruff Cycles "The Dean" frame with a Felt Abraham Linkage fork, 3G 26"x57mm Jemima 2spd kickback wheel set and some other fun parts to follow.

Re: THE DEAN

Just so yall know...that is raw steel you're looking at...not primer.

I will either paint it or have it powder coated.

Re: THE DEAN

Cool, are you getting it powder coated or painting it ?

 

[Rat Rod]

Re: THE DEAN

I'm tempted to just spray bomb it myself.

Re: THE DEAN

Re: THE DEAN

Have you thought about just clear coating it as is?
It has a nice finish to it, and imagine telling the people who ask what colour it is at a show... :lol:

I like the idea of clearing the frame or aging it. I'm a big fan of an aged looking ride w/ new wheels & tires. And the more I look at that first photo, the more I want a set-up just like it!

Re: THE DEAN

The hardest part is picking a color when they all look good :mrgreen:
