Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

neat til you puncture and then a royal pain in the ass

not unless you're in a race

in better news.

@pabs has some strong rat/beater action

nah. stays end up exactly at axles so no faff cutting them up etc. also i have marathon plus in the back, randonneur in the front, i think i'm ok punctureproofwise

Read the thread a bit, that's crazy stuff, nice rat bike tho

Fork on that first one looks crashy

Very, very slowly.

Racing mudguards.

Wehh - claud is back in action, hope you are enjoying the frame :)

I'm more facetious than you are.

So much effort, so much fabrication, so much spent on brakes, saddle etc...and a 1 piece crank.

Always something so great about bikes with replaced tubes

I'm assuming you're thinking of ones that make it obvious

Now that you said it and after I've gone through older photos of it, they really do look crashed...

I've never crashed on it myself and it's ridden well for some years now, so I'm not worried.

Here's some more photos of some different builds (to prove it does actually look a bit crashy). Been to loads of places with this bike.

Why do you need cycling shorts with a chamois to ride that?

Why are you looking so closely at that poor lady's arse?

The caption on instagram seemed to suggest that she was only trying it out, having encountered a guy on it

Didn't know where else to put it:

Has some rattyness, but pretty very rad.

My concorde gavina paint is a bit rough but just done 300 miles in Holland love it
