RAT ROD'S CURRENT FLEET

[Rat Rod]

Some of you have asked me to post my current line up of bikes.

I'll start off by stating the fact that I'm a known neat freak with half of a two car garage for a workspace and bike storage. :lol:

Many of you will be thinking....is that all he has? The truth is, I've owned dozens of bikes over the past 7 years, but I tend to look at them as a liquid asset. I buy and sell when needed and I like to keep things moving because I have a tendency to get bored quick with material stuff.

So, without further adieu...here's the current fleet of complete bikes...

1955 Schwinn Spitfire

2010 Skull Skates Cruiser

1982 Schwinn Sidewinder

Electra Amsterdam Balloon 7

1967 Schwinn Slik Chik

1978 Schwinn Scrambler

Daughter's 20" Electra Cruiser

Wife's Electra Red Betty

Here are two project bikes for my daughters...

So anything you thought I had or remember me having has either been sold off or traded.

I'll try to keep this post up to date as the fleet changes. :mrgreen:

IMO, it's not how MANY bikes you have... it's how COOL they are. You Sir... have some COOL rides!

 

[Rat Rod]

Thanks man!

What I need to do....which would take some work is make a post here that includes pics of everything I have owned over the past 7 years. :shock:

Nice bikes and I would be proud to own any of them.

That skull skates cruiser is off the hook, i thought about making my pre war western flyer into something like that.

Steve, I can picture you rubbing that stem every time you ride it just trying to get the shine back

Hey Rat rod,

Your 55 Spitfire looks really cool
I really like the frame stripped and unpainted
The fat tires and springer seat give a great stance
You modernized it just right!

I still keep the radar out for a coppertone Typhoon. I want to build my own version of this bike someday to add to my own fleet.

That one and Hooch's LaSalle - I have the wheels from it waiting anxiously to go on the next DX frame I come across. Both of these bikes were what really bit me and gave me the bug.
