This bike started as an Electra "Rat Fink" but that changed after it was cut in half. These bikes are some of the most comfortable bikes to ride so I didn't wan
t to mess with the riding geometry so I kept the bottom bracket, and seat close to the stock position. The bike was cut 6" in front of the seat and right after the bottom bracket. I had tubing bent the way I envisioned it and went to work. I wanted this bike as low as possible but still ridable. I welded up the complete back half and 
then metal finished it so I could get it powder coated. The bike has 26" Quikspeed Billet wheels, Rockwerks cranks, Shimano disc brake, Aluminum Robinson BMX bars and front forks came from a West Coast Chopper bike. This bike's first ride was the San Jose Bike Partie's October ride (23 miles)... these bikes aren't just for show.
