1959 Schwinn "Rat Rod"

Here's my new personal bike... It's a 1959 Schwinn rat rod.
Everything you see (frame, fork & rims) are powder coated (not painted) It even has real pinstriping!

That 's a great look and I bet those handlebars bring in those far away stations . (^)..... D.J.
 
I just taped up the spokes, and primed one rim. I was going to go with grey but that red does look pretty good!! Those bars are INSANE. Hey can I use a photo of that on My website for Your listing ?

Too Cool! I think the only thing she's maybe missing is a custom tank. Hope to get to LA for a group ride in the future.
 
WOW... That's resurrecting a old skool thread!!

The tires are both 26X2.125s; I chose them because of the 'skinny & fat' white walls like old skool hot rods have. ;)
 
Couldn't ya afford to get anything newer than a 1959? (Kidding of corse) That bike is BBBBBBAAADDDD to the bone! Very nice ride! Then again pretty much anything I've seen you build is pretty awesome...I would expect nothing less.
