Alt Bike Culture - I gots the fink!

Hey, just got my Rat Fink. Absolutely amazing bicycle! Rode it more than 40 km second day. Excellent drunken cruiser ride. I would highly recommend to purchase this bike for the quality of finish, paint/flames, and the RIDE!
The only drawback is that the bars are a little high. I would take those bars down about an inch if it were me. Other than that, fill your bag full of brews, tuck a little mother nature behind your ear and just cruise baby!

Nice...
I love the Rat Fink !!
Im getting a contact just reading your description of
rolling out on it :p
How is it on hills ?
The bars are easy to fix if you need to....
I think Electra even makes some slightly lower ones, too.

Is this the green one? A friend of mine up the road has the same one with green tireflys and a trailer with a little sound system, it's pretty cool.

Never mind, my bud has the fink and his lady has got the pink fink. He also has the Rock-a-billy-boogie with a side car for his bull-dog. Pretty swank.

I have really strong legs, so getting up moderately steep hills is no prob. However I was walking it up a couple really steep ones. Overall though the riding position is wonderful, you can really clip along with the crowd on a flat stretch. There is a group of us here we can sometimes get more than 20. Watching a pile of choppers/cruisers flying down the street is awe-inspiring. I obviously have a headlight/taillight combo but one question I ask is do you guys ride helmet or helmet-less? I have a pretty slick bucket that I sometimes wear(at night) just more for safety.

Pics on the way;)

Never wear a helmet on my alt bikes, or even at time on my BMX.

Roadie and MTB is almost always.

I alternate....
On my morning commute, where I live, I am the only person on the road.
Im rolling along at 5-15mph at the most and I am in a totally non-threatening environment where only an angry Rooster might cause me danger. But, if Im dicing it up with angry cars in the 'city' here or on my fast bike I will. Im not worried about rider error, Im worried about angry / inattentive motorist assault. If you ride in a hostile environment, I definately would wear one. I think you should do what you think you need to do and not worry about what other people think. Also....'alt' shouldnt stop at the bike ! You can do some really cool stuff to a helmet to have it be a statement 'o kool, too ! :D

I concur, the bars on the Rat Fink are a bit high. I bought the Ghostrider merely because the bars are lower. The frame length appears to be identical, though the headtube may be slightly longer on my frame.

You mean you have the fink.
