As a rule i am not into tall bikes, but this one i am. It has a steampunk vibe and looks alot better than the usual pile of bits in a shape of a tall bicycle.

i find this strangely alluring I wonder what it looks like from either end? the front fork is a slight disappointment compared to the rest , would be fun to ride it in one of those stickman fancy dress costumes

Before and after, 1941 Cleveland Welding Company. CWC is my favorite brand of antique cruiser, something about their signature curved chainstays really does it for me.

Is the bottom pic a stock bike, no front mudguard? What is the history behind this rather interesting photo?

Proof that Glamping is not a new thing at all.

I wondered if it was a reservation for the native people.

No, thats the finished product at the end of the big RatRodBikes summer build contest. CWCs are pretty tricky, they didn't really have a "spec", parts were always changing. Some say that no 2 are the same. This one is pretty close to original though, only the seat, light and rack look "incorrect"

As for the photo, americana roadside motel.

I like the bike standard with it's mudguards, I like the rat rod build but I think it needs both mudguards with narrower tyres.
The motel is wacky
