What Rat-Bike did you ride today?

I took Bad News out for its first serious test ride just a few minutes ago. Tightening down the head set made a world of difference in the handling of this bike. It's far from perfect, it needs a decent amount of room to turn without scraping the pedals, and it still doesn't stop, but I'm happy knowing it's still a functional bike.

Built these two, the Monark is ridable but the other is not. Basically built for display for a customer of mine.

I want to check this area out because you're not kidding! I have developed a case of klaxon elbow riding in HB and Newport - and the latest trend for these ebike riders is to come into your lane when their lane is full, with no regard for riders going in my direction. Posted speed limit is 10mph but that's not happening. Run video while you ride for proof of recklessness!
 
Damn It Porkychop! Ya goin' to convert me over to the canti Schwinn side ;)

If that thing had a tank matchin' that patina on a Decent Good Chrome or Polishin' (like the springer) I think it would sail it over the top!
Any plans for the cream/white wheels bud ?
Well Superman…..you were right about the cream tires and chrome drop centers! Definitely the right combo for this bike! Also put a delta silver ray on the fender and a buddy is making me a sick wood tank!

Thank you Bill in bama!
This is my favorite one to ride! This bike just glides. I’ve made some improvements on it since those photos. I finished up the paint on the front wheel, hand stitched a new leather seat cover, and added some lights to it for the night rides!
