What Rat-Bike did you ride today?

[coasterbrakejunkie1969]

It was yesterday, My 1959 Schwinn who's-a-what's-it with 1980 forks and an unmatching set of wheels a HD front and an old Shamino hubed something on the rear. I do not like to mess up my nicer bikes so this one is going to do the brunt of the work this winter. I mostly bomb around the neighbor and local park. It rides quite nicely except for the noise the tires make is a bit louder then the tires on the rest of my bikes.

All of my bikes are in the "Rat" category. But I chose this one today. '55 Schwinn Corvette.

By todays definition of "rat rod", even though all my bikes are original, correct and complete, they would be considered "rats". Lol

Here's mine. '53 Monark badged as a Silver King. Bare metal now, but hopefully the rust will accumulate soon. Definitely feels smooth and quiet.

I think that Rat bike is short for Ratty and covers a lot of types in made-up or crusty condition.
