my wife usualy doesn't get into my hobbies, we kind of do our own thing for entertainment, but she flipped when she saw my rat for the first time and asked me to build her one as a replacement for her trek mtb that she gave to my brother.
so I nosed around for a while and came up with a rough and rusty cruizer for $10.00
I brought it home and worked on it in secret for a few nights ad got it media blasted, primed and back in color
one more night before she cought on and got a chance to see it
the bike was real rough when I got it, all of the rivits for everything were rotten out
but punker spikes fix everything
when I got it there was no neck emblem, and I thought it needed some thing there, so tonight I grabbed some aluminum a drill, a coping saw, my anvil and dead blow hammer and went to town
now shes got some knuckles
next up is the seat, and the plastic peddles have to go
looking at it in the pictures I think I need to get some spokes powder coated white and a red rim set
more pics as I progress
