Featured WANTED TO SHOW YOU MY THRIFT STORE FIND - EVER HEARD OF A RAT ROD BICYCLE (w/FORD PARTS!)?

I found this at a local thrift store today & just wanted to show it to everyone - the antique Ford parts that the builder saw in his mind & then added to the bike, were enough to make me buy it! The fact I've never seen anything like it was also a big factor!
These are called a rat rod bike & I hope you like it!

 

Can the seat be moved closer to the handlebars !!! .. Nice bike, Joy.

 

Pretty cool...it does look like quite the stretch, though.

 

Maybe if you rotate the seat post around - then rotate the seat around!
It's actually a comfortable fit when I sat on it.

 

That would have lasted about 3 seconds in my local thrift.

Cool!

 

Call American Pickers, that looks like something Mike would like.

 

Right ON!!!!

 

Someone had fun building that. It looks like pieces from a 30s car combined with later bicycle bits. Two-wheel gearheads would love to see it.

 

Can anyoe find a "Rusty patina rat rod bicycle" for sale to give me an idea what it's worth? I signed up for ratrodbike.com & an waiting on the administrator to approve me - but otherwise I can't find one for sale or sold!
PS - I paid $125 for it
Thanks

 

There are some on Worthpoint.

 

Yeah but, I think joy was referring to the closeness of that pipe to the family jewels. At least that was my first thought. Very cool bike!!
