What Rat-Bike did you ride today?

[Rattman13]

Put my '39 Elgin Klunk-Rat back together and took her out for about a 6 mile ride. Not bad for me considering I pulled a groin muscle a couple days ago. I doubt I could walk much more than a mile right now.

For a change the Hawthorne went out tonight. The front tire started to just rub the fender when I stood on it. First I'll tighten up the spokes. If it keeps it up, there are regular 26" wheel/fork/fender setups waiting.

The old Raleigh yesterday on a 2 stop wheel and tire shopping trip.
I just happened upon the wheel shop after my wheel pick up and awaited the tire vendors arrival.

I now have this 24" front wheel combo to play with.

I'm thinking it'll go in this rat, tho I really am trying to find the Hiawatha a new local home and focus on my faves.
Now if I only had a Banana seat and...

Love the Raleigh and the Thunder Bay Ontario plate!!

Thank you Andy.
The Raleigh's my only British based bike, so I chose the xx007 plate from the pair that found on Kijiji.
The other weathered Thunder Bay tag will be perfect on any of the multi-decade rat bikes that I live with here in Ontario.

These colored rims made my day. Looks so great with the orangey patina

WeatherBug didn't think it was going to rain today!
In about 10 minutes it was coming down in buckets!

Yup, like everyone else, I've been caught in the rain a time or two. Honestly, I can't remember rain this cold!
