In 2009 I began a project to make my bike in to a "Rubber Rat". Inspired by the beauty's I found at http://www.ratrodbikes.com, a build off there (I never made the deadline), and a fettish for recycling rubber innertubes.
The start was my beachcruiser which I put on a rubbercloth of inner tubes and bisontex glue. Then I customized diferent things like the saddle, saddlebag, tankbag, fenders etc. Take a look at the pictures I hope they'l speak for themselfses.
Actually there are two versions, The mark I, first version racer, with homemade frontfork and the mark II, the cargo version (much handier with kids :P), the current state.

It seems that I can't put different photocomments at the different Pictures. It only shows the one on the first picture. Someone knows how to fix this? I really would like to clear some things out in this instructable and my other just published photo Ible

I have to admit I thought my entry with the basket made out of old wheels made my bike the most awesome use of rubber and rivets. You have managed to take it to another level of rubber greatness. I especially like the connection for the fendors. It's simple and clean.
