Picked up a Phatcycle cruiser type bike today off FB Marketplace for $20. It is a basket case. It is a PROJECT:
/From the FB ad.
While I'm tearing it down tonight, I'll be thinking about the options before me with this bike. It's a fairly light aluminum frame and I think it might make an interesting rat rod bike.
Looks like someone already started to remove the paint from the frame. I'm toying with stripping all the paint from the frame and leaving it bare. Have any of you guys and gals done this with an aluminum frame? If I do this, should the frame be protected with a clear coat or something else?
Thanks for any ideas or suggestions!
