Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

The tire won't fit under the fender at the brake bridge. It'll fine.

Would be so much better with a road stem

if you have ever worked as a courier so you know you can not always sit on what looks best, certainly not if you ride a trackbike :)

haha dident notice, was upset about the bar angle :)

But I bet you would never put that on any of your track bikes, even if it is the last saddle on earth. : )

haha no, but i can understand it!

Nowhere near as offensive as an SMP

old gold..

Spotted on the Old Kent Road

Interesting!

2 years, 200 pages have gone by since I last looked in here.

WTF is a tri-spoke doing in a "beater" thread? Same goes for the Basso.

That looks like something you'd lock a bike to.

If that Basso is a beater then so's mine :-/
(It's my 'nice' bike)

Fantastic.

It was just odd in every way - it had a Paul brake lever and Brooks bar tape.

The steering is going to be petrifying!

A few bikes I also saw in NYC, including a nice ratty basso:

Who would ride such odd bike?

I want to know what this is. Some sort of turbo boost switch? Signal jammer? EMP pulse?

Mechanical doping!!!! We finally have proof.

Shitty phone pic of my Concorde, last thing to do is a new seatpost and some proper pictures.

really nice.

^^^ that is great.

the Litespeed is like THE ultimate city work bike

Nah it deserves a much better life. A soft tail would be a bloody weird work bike anyway
