Information and helpful tips that I've picked up while doing this.

In my haste to put my American Rat Rod together I forgot to put the retainer on the master link. While riding it at the Patriotic Pub Pedal the master link fell out and the chain come off and bound up the tire and I come to a screeching halt. Luckily someone had the idea and someone else the tool and coat hanger to do this and it worked great.

Today I decided I wanted something different from last year to ride on the Patriotic Pub Pedal tomorrow. I got home tonight at 5:30 and started with this Schwinn American frame I had stashed in the attic...


I wiped the frame down, sanded off stickers, primered it, painted it and put on the wheels off my black rat rod along with some other parts I had, took a 20 minute break for supper and at 8:30 I ended up with this...


I'd like to have done more but ran out of time. Maybe next year.
