Cool. That bike stretches you out nicely. I think the term rat rod referred to early hot rodded cars. They were about speed, rather than metallic paint jobs and chromed brake rotors.

Yeah that's exactly right,, ratrod is all about the build. Speed refinement being able to change modify and improve, as the saying goes " I'll have mine with no shine thanks"

yes i agre the forks do look scary they were made buy cutting a pair of 1'' steerer old school BMX forks in half inserting the 2 longest tubes from a 26'' frame bike and welding it up.. but heres the weird thing i thought it wouldnt last more the a week and id have to make a new set but thousands of miles later and a space of about 10 years its still working fine
