Uncle Touchy’s Backroads Bomber

« of 80 »

First picture is as the bike is now.

I originally built this bike for the 7th annual RatrodBikes.com bicycle Build-off. It was named after a late Great-Uncle who was a life-long Kansas farmer and was inspired by the farm truck that sits along our local rail-to-trail. It’s a Monark frame with a variety of other parts. I used several paints and primer to get the patina and rusty look. The rear wheel I laced around a Sturmey Archer 2 speed Duomatic Kick Shift.
