Rat Bike
The creative minds at Beartrap have stepped into the dark and dirty realms of custom rat bikes.
Joining forces with Dillon, mechanics melt with artistry to give you our first working custom piece.
It was always important to us to be more than just another brand and now we can proudly show an alternative side to our passion for bikes, still keeping our distinctive style.
We invite you to look through the build process to see the stages that the bike went through. Then you can move on to the first couple of promo days we had with the bike, showing it off along with some of our new garments.
Feel free to leave comments, ask any questions and like the pictures & videos.
Enjoy!
