here is an ugly dream
now has a white and unripped saddle (less wet patches in the rain) and gaffa tape (and lock plastic bit) removed and no longer on the seat tube and down tube.
I am not sure if the seat post is seized (I am 5ft 7 and its fine)
It is currently fixed, with a flip flop hub (but the bearings on freewheel are bumpy AF)what else- there is some rust, there is some play in the front end (yup that vague).
And someone made in the underside of the top tube for some amazing internal cabling.But, I have forgotten to lock it a few times in the daytime in Hackney and it hasnt got stolen. For this reason I see it as a kind of Excalibur of bikes.
I smile when I ride it.

Reviving this thread as my beater got stole, big time. Any bikes in the £100-ish area entertained (as long as they work...ish). Uglier the better.
I plan to spend more on security this time round (apparently a motorbike chain and heavy lock isn't enough for a train station bike rank...).
