Re: HARD LUCK (7/16 door knobs and more dice!!)
too late took her out on the last second sat ride just to show that she is a ride able beast. and thank you for mentioning the hot rod thing cause that is just what i was going for.
i have wanted to say some other things while building this one similar to your words. getting that front end to sit right was ummm well i cant say it here
kuttnhack offered a suggestion to me at cyclefest as we were checking each other's bikes out. he felt mine was of all things not pinstriped enough and now i agree as i forgot how much sneaky pinstriping i did and how little you can really see. so tonight i am going back at it to finish it off. hey it is a 60's style bike like the full show hot rods of that time and nothing was really "over the top" so why not?

Adam, i was checking out Hard Luck at the show.. Well done!
Did you shave off every other tooth on the rear cog, or did you weld a skip tooth cog to the original Shimano cog?
(I think it was a Shimano hub on there..)

Re: HARD LUCK (7/16 door knobs and more dice!!)
well we did that once already greg and it held. i am game lets go bring a truck and lets do it.
dude really? she ain't that nice she is still a rat, just a bike. i am just amazed the setup i thought of in my head sorta works. all i could think the first time i rode it was "i am using this steering wheel to hold up the spring which is all held in by really two (well three) grade 8 bolts." dont think the guys who made that steering wheel ever thought one would be used like this. :shock:

Re: HARD LUCK (7/16 door knobs and more dice!!)
Yeah, right before you kill yourself! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
This bike is sooooo awesome, looks so Rat Fink / George Trosley. Definitely another level of build.
Cheers,

Re: HARD LUCK (7/16 door knobs and more dice!!)
Yep.. you really took this build to another level.
It's the best rat I've seen; in fact, being kinda new to the forum, I think all and all, It's the coolest bike I've seen here. You nailed it on all aspects, and I'm not even very into the steering wheel thing.
Is it a fun ride?
Keep goin'
