Schwinn straight bar rat rod pics

I'm loading the trailer for the Iron Horse swap meet and started looking at all the parts I was bringing, and thought I could make a rider out of this Panther frame. Rebuilt the hubs new bearings and chain, lubed and tuned it then rode about 5-6 miles. Great rider but ugly!

One of my favorite rides. Shimano nexus seven gears.

Don't be offended, but most of you guys are using way too nice looking frames for Rat Bikes. Those could be used for og bikes..?

But they aren't og, and never will be: they are as they are

OK, I sanded off all the black paint.

I added a large seat and springer from azbug-1 and yes I know paint is pretty good on this frame and will keep it that way so it could go back original anytime

i didn't want to alter the original paint frame as it's actually pretty nice and figure someday he can go back to a original bike .

I wouldn't touch that "Sparty Green" Hornet it's beeeeeeautiful

To me that is the gold standard of Rat Rod, grungy paint fresh bearings & grease to make it go, stripped of fenders and trinkets to make it go faster, just like the two dollar garage sale bikes we beat to death as kids
