Re: Rat Salad - 7/24 - not done but assembled

Still needs the shift cable run and a few small adjustments, but here she is. Need headbadge screws, cable clamps and a cable stop, small parts where the cable connects to the actuator, etc

I will be taking more pics, I missed my window of good lighting by 20 minutes. The location looks like it will work out though.

That's what I like about all this....that bike was doomed and now you brought it back to a killer looking sweet ride. I would SO ride that bike. Great job! :D

This picture right here is really good. It shows the curves of the frame, the cool color, the shiny stuff--man, that is a really good picture of your bike. I thought your bike was cool before; this picture shows just how cool it is.

Neat curves in frame and nice build, I like the moss patina on the original, guess the green retains the look. Bike looks mighty fine.
 
Let there be Rock!! This bike rocks indeed! That green is killer!
 
We are all GREEN with envy!!!
Sweet ride!!!
 
Awesome build! I was directed here by Kingfish. I just recently acquired a frame like this. Yours looks awesome as a SS! Great job on the paint!
