One Day Build...Instant Gratification...

[buckchocolate]

this bike went from Zero to RatRod in about 6 Hours...I had the chasis (the frame, the forks, the cranks and the fender) the rest is friction tape and spare parts...not so original, but old habits die hard...she runs great and it was a fantastic day for a bike ride today in the Bluegrass...special THANKS to El Duderino for the new "Fathers Day Tools"...

Wow, that was 6 hours well spent!
Great bike.

Cheers,

Crusty Racer was one of my favorite builds from BO8, you should enter this quickie masterpiece in BONINE!
Nice work! I really like the truss rods through the bars.

CWC representin'! Maybe a late 40's bike? The trussrods through the bars looks great. The patina on the bike along with the bobbed fender, dogleg cranks and skiptooth to boot really make it right. The crusty seat and handlebars are icing on the cake. Great job! Maybe a rusty dropstand would work too.

Nice job, I'll have to try the trusses through the bars, never seen that before.
