I find fake rat frames quite offensive, also paired with all the shiny new bits is quite the dog's dinner.
Trying way too hard for my taste..

Owner claims it's not forced - just had a hard life

That 'dale is the same one people people go crazy for in other build states, i'm guessing the owner thought it was finally time to cash in that paycheque with Amy

I am familiar with the build you posted and yes it is very cool and coherent.
So the one posted above by ltc is an A.Danger creation? I liked it better when her builds were turning "boring"

I’m here for HHSB content gold like her build. If I want boring, understated or practical, I’ll head over to Current Projects.

i'm usually a fan of A.Danger's stuff, and am definitely jealous of her snagging that infamous Cannondale rat, but i kinda agree with alocalboy on this one.

that setup with the crazy unrealistic Sugino honeycomb bling gear ratio and tiny rack just screams "i ride this around the corner to the cafe" to me. the reason the original Cannondale rat was so iconic around here was because it was ridden into the ground by a dude who liked riding.

current iteration is missing the mark for me. kinda feels neutered and like sealed under glass for safekeeping now

not the same bike

Isn’t that the point of HHSB? Isn’t “over the top” hitting the mark?

i mean yeah, and those parts on a pristine shiny like-new C-track i'd agree

but that frame with those bits, nah

What's more HHSB than throwing money at a bike that's sole purpose is to garner instagram likes?

If you got it, might as well flaunt it

Not sure that rear Bora gonna hold up skids liek

HHSB is about irreverence not sensibility though, right? So many rules I thought I was in prOn for a moment. HHSB is the middle finger to build protocol and practicality. It’s morphed into throw an Olympic chainring on there but keep it sensible? (no shade intended for this build) #savehhsb
