Yes fence posts and they are a mild pot metal steel at 250 pounds myself I would be scared to sit on it!

Holy crap. Is this just a joke or something?

Real parts on it though:
Fork
Wheels,tires
Bars+risers
Triple clamps.

I wonder if the artist bothered to put bearings in the steering stem?

It shows good use of old scrap dont get me wrong I am a fan of the rat rod thing but dont ever put yourself or someone else at risk because of lack of knowledge. There are some amazing fabricators in the rat rod world.

Ken, I totally agree with you. I've seen some really well done stuff from the rat rod community but this one has the stress engineer in me screaming NO. This definitely needs way more support to carry a rider and engine over a nice pothole safely.

I'd bet the frame is just a mock-up to hold together the real parts into a more easily imaginable form. Assuming you'd buy a "real" chopper frame to use...
