Due to increasing difficulty of getting my bike on busy trains home on my commute I want to build a bike that I'm happy to leave overnight at the train station .
So looking to build a real ugly pub / beater that even the lowest level thief would be embarrassed to be seen with ! I still want it to be fast and safe for a commute, just look the like bike equivalent of an extra from the walking dead.
As a challenge I'd like to see if I can keep the build under £100, or as close to that as possible. Looking for a frame to start with (55 cm or thereabouts), ideally not French due to threading but all ugly contenders considered!
I'll also consider complete builds but to be honest after building my dream bike I'm quite excited about the idea of creating a pig ugly monster!
What have you got ?!
cheers
