Rat Rod bicycles

Anyone into rat rod’s? I have a Columbia I plan on “ratting” out and need some ideas. I plan on stripping the paint and letting it rust a little. Not real sure which way I’ll go after that, just want to slow or stop the rust at this point. Then adding “graveyard” or Heavy Metal type stuff. It’s a single speed. I have ape hangers on it, and a simulated gas tank.

 

That’s a cool idea! Subbed to see your progress

 

Planning on doing some paint stripping this weekend.

 

How old is that bike?

It’s new.

 

ODNAREM, where do you get your lights?
Great looking bikes by the way. This is all new to me. I am 56 and rode most of my younger life. Can’t weld or anything so I’ll just be bolting on parts.

Their lights and others products are pricey but worth it if affordable on the wallet.
