CAM-327
hey guys, im 14 and this is my project that i have been doing over the last 2 or so months, just thought i'd like to share with all you rodders..
i know its not a car.. but its certainly styled like one... its styled into the american rat rod theme..

Colour: two tone - matte black frame with matte white handlebars and forks
matte white spokes with red rims.. will eventually end up doing white walls on the tyres..

basically stripped it all down to metal.. lots of work getting everything back to metal.. all nuts and bolts are painted to match the bike.
everthing taken its time with and not rushed..
have some future plans of suspending a motorbike license plate behind the seat.. but everything takes time and money..

any comments feel free to add thumbsup.gif

i used to have a fly that i bought of dans comp like 5 yrs ago.it was a fly pantera.primo cranks hazard lite 10 tooth and 7ka rims and sand m bars forks and stem but it was old and heavy as fuck and i sold it.and then i felt like riding again so i bought an eastern ace of spades of some kid at the sk8 park.it was a good bike but is now fucked.it had slam bars and profiles and hazard rims and shit but bent the frame and bars:(

its been a couple of years since i rode so whats good out there these days?

the dollar is ogood atm so will probley get it off dans comp again.are there any good complete bikes out there?

there was none a couple of years ago but i thought they may have improved by now

seriously i would have no idea.. this is completely standard.. all ive done is gone the rat rod look and thats it.. im a car man for sure.. and all i do when i ride is get from point a to b and cruise... i cant be fucked owning myself (which will happen) doing "fully hektic" jumps nd shit tongue.gif ...

ive heard HARO are good bikes.. but if ur only doin what im doin.. go to the smart tip at browns plains and buy a decent bike (if you can find any) for $20 bux..

i had a bit of a win.. i scored a 06 model mongoose meance for 20 bux.. rebuilt it.. custom lotus lime paint on the handlebars and forks. rest is black.. its heavy as fuck so it's just my normal rider bike and the rat rod one will be just for weekend rides with mates..

well if your not that much into riding stop now lol!!!! save up for a car or something.

i rode for like 5 yrs and all i got out of it was a sore wallet from spending thousands on bikes and a knee i cant feell anything in now and a fucked wrist.

Does it skid? mamoru.gif

My cousin knocked up a few motorised pushies with whipper snipper engines. All he did was weld a stunt peg onto the main shaft and mounted it so it touched the wheel.
