Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

hardly a beater though is it.
its a purpose built, expensive, high end bike.

most people i know with V2s got them brand new for less than £400.

so, a £400 frame and fork set is budget?

just to ease the pitchfork brigade I will cede defeat that it is not a beater
it's an overpriced hhsb with fat tyres which may or may not be ridden offroad on route to purchasing a double soy macchiato, at very low speed, then washed clean by vegans with the tears of virgin organic goats

At least you admit it

your life is now complete :)

Link to virgin organic goat's tears?

diy

you get a hip flask full when you buy a Mash Work frame

Hip flask included?

Now you're just being ridiculous. Vegans would never use goat tears, organic or not. Maybe a rice based tear alternative.

no, genuine organic virgin goat tears, gathered by caring vegans during therapy and healing group sessions.
you'd be surprised how much stigma is carried being associated with pagan rituals, and a burden shared is a burden halved

*sniff

so, a £400 frame and fork set is budget?

well, yes when you're saying that a £900 one is?

I never said it was budget, you sir are mistaken...and they can be found for £200 less than you say

it's still a thousand pounds worth of bike with no visible wear and a pretty sensible build all around

functional

Yes mum

Repost? Saw it on another forum. Love it.

nice, because flip flop is to main stream

Whack a chain on there and you have front wheel drive

Shameless #readerswives as its up for sale

EDIT: Ignore the chain slack.

Got a new stem/seatpost.....used. Not sure of the Nitto model...paid $10 for it. Just says Nitto and is the same dimensions of a Pearl/25.4 clamp.

I'm pretty much done with this bike concerning changes so I won't keep posting it here.
Most of the time I use regular pedals/straps...but on longer rides I do clipless.

Nice, looking good.

Your chain is always so slack though. Sure there is too tight, but this is the other end of the spectrum.

Do you like using road pedals on a street fixeh?

Thanks

LOL, I just updated the post about the pedals without seeing your comment. Yeah, I mostly run straps/regular pedals but on longer rides (20+ miles), I go clipless.

I forgot to add "ignore the chain slack"...I was in my backyard installing a new a tube and just set the wheel in the ends for the photo.
