Way cool

Interesting bike Rattman. I have never noticed a seat tube behind the bottom bracket before. Along with what looks like a long top tube already plus the layback post, it looks pretty stretched out! Nice add with the disc brake.
Cool bike.

Yeah it makes for a nice fit since I'm just under 6'1". The seat tube behind the bottom bracket is a modern thing, I've also had that set up on an Electra and a Micargi.

Modern wheels, pedals and gear, of coarse tires, McCaskey bars, and a saddle worth more than the rest of the bike.

Little nippy out, but couldn't resist. Lucky to be out on a ride this late in the year. What you are looking at is, I believe a 38' Schwinn.

"Air cooled " hubs.

Ready to paint the darts on. "One Shot" ivory enamel, brushed on.

Can't recall what I paid for this frame, I think it was 40 bucks. All I know it was a hunk of junk, that somehow missed the scrapper. Looks good now, after a lot of free elbow grease.

Haha one of my blocks fell off on my way home this morning after this pic was snapped. Somewhere on the River Trail, there’s a piece of my bike... A 1950’s rubber pedal block...

Here she is back at home with the missing rubber piece. If you look closely, you’ll see the bare rod. Anyone here have a spare pedal block?

As it turned out, @tripple3 had exactly what I needed to breathe new life into my old pedals! Thanks Mark! Merry Christmas to you and to all!

Rode up to the end of the road on the Wasp to shoot the stars and had to return because the spokes had loosened.
By the time I returned on the ‘01 Monarch cushion frame, the clouds had rolled out like a quilt.

I've ridden both of my green rats recently. The late model Micargi is called "Warbird". The '39 Elgin Rat will be soon turned into a Klunker.

 

[Porkchop]

Rode my 34 rollin on Schwinn s2’s! Great rat-bikes you all! Love it!

 

[Rattman13]

Played around with the Klunker conversion on my '39 Elgin rat, then took her for a nice ride.
