Damn straight I like Rat Rods...got a few of em. These are Biggie Rat and Itchie Brother! The Flat Bars on the red Snyder built tie in with the flat rear tire, spun the seat post 180° giving it a longer lowered look. Not 100% on the front wheel, I may go to a 29"..we'll see once I get the Shock Ease dialed in a bit better. Have yet to wire the lights and I need a horn for my tank.

The Black framed Rollfast sits you up taller and has a massive wide seat I call "Barkalounger". This bike gets lots of looks and is a pleasure to ride. Not yet sure what I'm going to do with the mis-matched wheels, but I have a Sturmy Archer front brake and 3 speed screaming to be installed. Once I get a set of matched wheels I'll put a set of Fat Frank's to give it a more stout look! Not a fan of the Columbia front end as it blocks my Super Cool Rollfast Bearing badge so I'm swapping it out with a Monarch double spring springer...should look sic! I've yet to wire the lights yet on this one either! Oh well!

Enjoy,

Tank I sold you looks great on your bike.
 
Built the 39 Autocycle Deluxe for the 2017 San Francisco ride and the 36 CWC Western Flyer for 2018, I need gears for those hills so went for 7 spd's with 28 then 30 tooth rear so I can run a full size front, this year I might try a 32 rear.

ITS ALIVE!
Meet Frankenstein, my monster rat.
Frank is resurrected from parts piles and the Spring Swap near my little area of the world.
The ride is very nice. The LED converted tractor fender light sets it off nicely.
The headbadge will be my rendering of Borris Karloff's Frankenstein.
Thanks for looking
