Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

Once upon a time in this thread I saw a retro Panasonic MTB with a front rack and now I can't find it for love nor money.

Sure it wasn't this Bridgestone?

It was in fact a Bridgestone, but not that one! That's still sweet though - Cheers.

Rīga = )

Does anyone know the make of the stem on this surly?

maybe Nitto

Spotted in Dublin. Compact and rusty.

Interesting crank angle
I did something similar once on a joke build using square & diamond cranks, kinda felt like I was galloping..

anything to get those extra horse power gains

Thanks @azer89 @HHC

Bad photo of the work bikes new crank situation. I want to keep building this up as a sort of sleeper, looking for seatpost and stem reccomendations.

I've got a pile of black Thomson stems kicking about if you'd be interested? Cheers. Tom

With inspiration from the Merckx, someone do something rad with this moser
