Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

Fair play, just really wish it was bigger.
Probably a good thing its not though as don't think I could get away with buying another bike just yet

Just out of curiosity I got my daughter to photo me in the saddle....

I wouldn't say it fits you fine based purely on how far back the saddle is in the post on the classified ads. Its possibly a tad too small (short) for you, or the saddle is in the wrong place. But it all depends on you and how you ride it too.

Yet another coworker's bike. This one's a Miyata 710.

Amazing. It even looks better for having such a silly high stem.

Can't remember if I've ever stuck my ratty bikes in here before. Quite possibly, so apologies if I'm self-reposting.

This is my most used/practical bike ever. It's done thousands of commuting miles, hauling tools etc, in all weathers. It's looking much rattier now, but still running sweet. I'll take an up-to-date photo when I next have my camera on me.

This was it freshly stripped:

And that time I virtually lived out of my panniers for the whole summer:

And this was my pub/hack bike in Melbourne. Fat tyres for tram tracks, resulting in pretty minimal clearances (It never really rubbed, but I did file the fork out a bit, just for peace of mind)
