Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

huh, thats spot on.

How come the fork is rusted but the frame isn't? Fork had no lacquer? Or is the frame actually painted.

Frame is painted, I got the forks made as the original ones got trashed when someone reversed a car into them. At the time I was too poor to get them painted so they've just stayed rusty.

Readers blah blah

^so much love - especially with that stem
(still slightly attached)

too poor for a £3.50 rattle can? No diss though i think it actually looks 100

Oh that was far too much effort, anyway rust lyfe ftw

Fish's gangsta track does it for me. One day he's doing deliveries, the next day he's doing top 10 finishes in Red hook:


also saw him riding the Amsterdam velodrome on the same bike.

This is wicked. What I am aiming with my super Pista. paint is pretty ratty and rusted. Parts aren't very expensive. but its a solid track frame that does the job beautify

never mind

not that I am aware of, my super is steel... Colnago dream pista is alu...

My mates old Fuji.

Finally put some effort into maintaining my pub bike, a too small 90s Gary Fisher that used to be my mum's. Now has functioning shifting and braking and bling single chainring bolts (only single chainring bolts they could find and half price as "no-one buys the anodised stuff any more" :p)

Very sick!

His speedo sensor is the wrong way round. Should be front facing.

he's still faster than you :)

That's not rat, that's just not being used for years

yeh I'm still unsure what a 'rat bike' is... Isn't it a bike that is used daily, can locked up and appreciated by its owner?

Needs proper cranks, what happened to the old ones?

Propper cranks bro? Old ones? :/ These are the campag ones I've always had on it brah :D

The ones on the other nago
