Now for Something Completely Different



And by "Something Completely Different" I mean to instill the sort of borderline dread and anticipation of madness that Monty Python induced. These are not the sort of bikes we usually enjoy and celebrate around here. They are the sort that we look at and say "I really wouldn't want to ride it, but damn that looks fun." Kustom Kulture meets bicycles.

Rat Rod Bicycles in all their glory. Go visit the site, there are lots of guys playing with these things and God bless 'em. I'm sure there are some collectors of old balloon tire bikes who hate to see this stuff. But like the guys hacking old lightweights a lot of these bikes have been abused and corroded to the point of not being good for anything else. Most were never any damn good in the first place.






Looking around the Rat Rod Bikes I notice a lack of pinstriping. They need to get on that.
