Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

My friend Kalle with his cracked dolan cruiser..

I get it. So this is what funky d wants to put together, more like, a beater, not a rat. Then funky d wants to ride the bike without any maintenance, with absolute neglect and turn it into a rat. That makes sense to me.

turn it into a rat

Dude, you cant just turn a bike into a rat. It has to go through an ageing process where the bike evolves to your riding style. Only then has your bike gained the rat status

love love love

the bike evolves to your riding style.

This

In the words of Flann o'Briens Sergeant Pluck:
Be warned. Never allow your bicycle to live in close quarters with humans, because their atoms might get mixed up.
People who spend most of their lives riding iron bicycles . . . get their personalities mixed up with the personalities of the bicycle as a result of interchanging of the atoms of each of them and you would be surprised at the number of people in these parts who nearly are half people and half bicycles

Great quote.

thank fuck somebody gets it

every fucker nit picking with regards to words used. fucking hell i'm just gonna build a beater and not do anything to it and let it get ratty, is it so complicated?

you're right @B0N0R im probs better getting something similar in geometry but not actually NJS approved. whatever anyway I've still got to finish my vigorelli first

Approaching rat territory:

Look like Challenge Grifo's. They come in 33c. I want something like that for winter.

Looks like good fun

That is crazy!

I hope the fork crown on the seatpost of that MTB doesn't slip whilst being ridden!

My friends every day
