Sweet Rickster! Tough luck on the bum pedal. That color combo and white walls reminds me of an 80's lowrider! ;) Those forks are wicked, I dig.
 
Hey Rickster, I wanna see the metal seat on that thing. I think it would look better than the black imo.
 
No prob dude, im takin pics tonight. Im riding out again to the woodward cruise, then over to my g-pas. and home again. 20 Miles round trip ride. :D
 
Wow, I didnt know the crank would break like that. Looks good. Those forks are so cool.

Oh yeah guys, she held up good tonight :D

I rode from my house 2 Woodward and 12 mile, up to 15 mile back down Woodward to 9 mile took Woodward over 2 john r, and that home.. That made tonights ride about 30 miles! :D I also rode around earlier and to my buddy Derek's dads.

oh and the left rear axle nut was loose, i rode from 13 mile to 9 mile with one axle nut holding the rear wheel on, she held up DANG good tonight, i beat the piss out of it, skidding at every stop, riding as fast as i could.. she held up I'm so proud of myself aha.
 
Dang, that's quite a long ride, especially on a rat. ;) I rode 22 miles once last year on my road bike and I was tired. Way to go and the rat held tight too for ya. Nice work! That thing is totally a chick magnet, nice color choice bro!
