Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

Much yes, but that saddle...

You meant chainring, of course. Nothing wrong with a bit of unpadded Unicantor!

If rarely putting much weight on the saddle due to being on the track and hammering it, then fine. But I imagine that's not how that's used, so nahhhh

Chromovelato rat (belonging to my bro @girodibeniamino )

What's with the bar tape?

It's striped benotto tape, gone a bit saggy...

What's with the trousers/socks?

Many bikes come with chains which can snag/dirty your trousers.

Haha, please excuse my brother, he's from Italy

Yeah I know, just taking the piss. It's a nice bike, I miss downtube shifters

Aren't we all.

stylish rat for sure!

How does it stop? Coaster brake?

Yep, can just about see it through the wheel.

It's been awhile since I posted here but had a quick question (and I'll post pics of my bike so I'm at least contributing to the thread).

I found a local art shop that sells Montana Gold/Black and other higher end graff paint and thinking about spraying my Samson.

It's currently grey but chromed under the paint.

I'll strip the paint and just spray with either Montana Gold or Montana White (Their "Gold" level is supposed to be the better paint). Anyone try either one?

I just want a color change and don't care if it gets worn again/beat up from being locked up.

Here is the bike. It's beat to hell but you can't tell because of the grey and chrome blends together.

It look great like that don’t repaint it and ruin it.
