The BEN HUR
Rat Rod Cruiser
Ben Hur Bicycle CO.
Indianapolis, Ind. U.S.A.
1950's era

When I found this bike it was spray bombed a faded tomato red.
It received a good cleaning, steel wool rubdown to bring out the original colors and detail, new cruiser wheels and Felt Quick Brick tires. Seat and grips most likely not original; on the bike when found.
Do you see the image of a man smoking on the rear fender?
The BEN HUR badge in its original "found" patina.
It was a struggle removing the stuck seat post and finding a seat post clamp that would work with it. The handle bar and goose neck have been left rusty for the patina. It could use a new bolt on the goose neck and perhaps a new crank to make it a great rider. The head badge remains in hand and needs to be re-applied. I will post a pic of this cool badge.
