Superfun.

Frejus looks soo coool but after reading the story...

bikes that break and are badly maintained are just wrong. crank that keeps falling off? unglued (cx)tubular?? my inner bike mechanic says NO

Mmm, the guy behind Tati Cycles tries a bit too hard to cultivate an image.

^still one of the best, ever

err.. no.

probably a bit hip hop as well, but i think that here is the best place for it

That Nagasawa is exactly what I want to see in this thread. Well used with plenty of nice components, and the fact that everything is a bit mismatched only makes it better in my eyes.

That red thing further up is the polar opposite. Nasty 27" to 700c conversion with super slack angles and components that look like they've been picked out by a Create owner. Straight to anti.

Please forgive my misunderstanding of frankenbikes, Straight to anti.

Looks good, what bars are they? Free tibet sticker is ace.

My daily ride for the past 4 years/3500 miles ish... Not a bad life for a £175 piece of crap eBay deal

So chuffed with my commute rat, bought the frame for £21 on eBay on Friday, picked it up Saturday morning and was riding it by Saturday lunch, built entirely from left overs and odds and sods from the basement... I love it!

It's a noname riser with 12" backsweep. Difficult to find but the only angle I feel comfortable with risers. This one is quite flexy, but you can get syntace vector in OS, and OOP ones with an inch clamp. I actually need one for my mtb, but I got a carbon monkey light super cheap.

That is really nice actually
