Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

Not very ratty is it. Throw it off Blackfriars bridge and leave it for a bit.

Hence pub bike/beater, frame is dented and lost most of the clear coat and all parts are cast offs from other bikes, don't think it fits anywhere else

So much Russia. In Soviet Russia etc.

Immediate disqualification due to choice of rear tyre. Out.

That's fair, it's shit.

Seconded. Swept back bars are the shit.

what are those bar on the Raseza? I've been keeping an eye out for wide risers with more than 10° backsweep... I'll probably stick one of the moustaches on there and see how it goes

Some cheap generic ITM ones - cost me £5 so I'm pretty pleased

Readers wife..

@Chak @Harry_C What u on about I had a thickslick on my main bike which did some 500 miles a month for one and a half to two years, never any trouble and plenty of life left when I decommissioned the bike. Plus that logo game is on fleek too.

Keeping the Dolan game

At one point I had a stack of around 20 of them in various shitty states sitting in the workshop. For every one that works, are 30 other thicklslicks being shitslicks.

In the dry the more expensive one is alright.
As I experienced yesterday though they let go far to easily in the wet, really unpredictable and if you lock up for to long for whatever reason they start to shed big lumps of tread.
I only have it because it came of a customers bike where I used to work, I'd never buy one.

Nice one! That fork a DIY paintjob?

Ha, thats mine! Cheers man. If you see me locking up/around uni come say hi

Daily rat/beater

Herrro! Yus I will. I love your bike :) But please lock your nice back wheel up too :)

Yes squared.

do love a ratted road bike

pretty happy with this as it is. very comfy even if the tt is perhaps a bit long.

ratting up nicely but needs a different wheelset. primato or something all silver

nowt wrong with that wheelset. and at least aesthetically ild call a nay on silver wheels and performance wise you won't upgrade much with miche primatos.

a stem, i mean a seatpost clamp

Nice! You could mount a simple tail light inside the curved section and none would be the wiser.
