I have original S7 wheels,fenders, sprocket and a few other Stingray parts that I'm slowly restoring to go onto this frame. I was thinking of making a Key Lime Krate 8) ya know, the Krate that never existed. or maybe a Steamray? (a steampunk Stingray)

thanks for the quick reply. I see what you mean about the tank area. I'm kinda saddened that I don't have a true Stingray or Krate frame, but, now I won't be hearing the cries of resto nuts when I start cutting the frame.

so, I bought this frame about 3 years ago and have been building it into the pic you see here. but now the desire to know what I have is crushing me. the original color was a purple simular to the grape krate. buried under 3 layers of spray bomb paint I found some original paint in the corners...

look at my screen name and you'll figure out what I like in the first pic. :P bikes are cool too.

here's some 20" ones, if you search on this site I'm sure I saw some 26" ones http://www.bikepartsusa.com/bikeparts/i ... el-20_inch I have the same trike rear and have been looking for wheels for awhile. 24" set http://www.bikepartsusa.com/bikeparts/i ... el-24_inch

lots of ideas here http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/show ... p?t=106561

I'll definately be watchin', I have a Huffy cruiser that is on a backburner to be Tikified. love the color.

Re: Rat Trap Ray - Updated 2/9 it's nice to see a bike being built that has been a long dream. I too have recently over the past year finally been building a bike that has been planned for about as long, mine started out as a light/horn that I found in my grandfathers basement that was bought...

just looked at some maps and pics, nice, a fall ride would be cool. since it's your neighborhood start a new thread to start organizing a southeast rat ride.

I once sold a rattle can flat black and pinstriped Huffy Beach cruiser for $150 on CL. I had $15 into it. a fool and his money are soon parted. :D

I was just putting a feeler out to see if there was any interest in a ride. a fall or spring run would be alright by me. biannual?

looks like one I built about a year ago, that was " one that got away" :cry: I like it 8)

anybody interested? I'm just trying to see about setting up a central Florida annual ride. bad time of year for everyone? location? any other suggestions for locations? I would like to keep it on one of the bike trails. Nate

I'm on the wrong coast to take part in the challenge but this looks too much fun not to build one.

I had one shop charge me $1.50 per for cheapie spokes. that shop is closer to me than my regular bike shop. thats the only $3.00 they'll get from me.

anybody interested ? leaving from the Panera in Heathrow and travel south on the Seminole Wekiva trail to maybe 436 and back? approx. 14 miles round trip. start getting there at 10am, roll out at 11am. rats, restos, kustoms and low riders. rain date Feb 7. if all goes well we'll make this an...

I did that on a frame to gain a little clearance, worked great.

Growing up in New Hampshire I used to run skinny tires in snow up to a foot deep to cut through to the bottom. anything deeper I would run a cruiser type (knobbies would dig in, cruisers would float) 26x2.125 at low pressure (about 15psi). I would have liked a set of the Surely tires. :)

with the new job taking up so much time I needed something to relax with so with a late 70" rusted out Huffy Rangler that I had sitting outside for a while I decided to reak out the hacksaw and welder. I'll try to keep this thread up to date but it may take some time to finish. cut and prepped...

cover was torn up, so a little paint and pinstriping presto, hardcore seat :lol:
