Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Haha I'm the same, I like the workhorse/rat look but that bartape for example would bother me so much if it would be my own bike

Seen on Facebook, this looks great. Any idea what the frame is?

Appears to have lugs, possibly custom? Try the cargo bikes thread

Thank you ! Some homemade top tube protector from bar tape(yes the Nitto bullmoose are that wide)

It's made by Recycle, says it on the nds toptube, they convert old racers/road bikes into cargo bikes.

It’s yours I see! Nice. What’s your long term verdict on the Alfine? Had any/many problems?

These guys

It’s probably done minimum 25, 000 miles, and possibly>30. Sensitive to proper set up - good cable run and careful adjustment. It’s had a service every year - oil bath and re-grease. Other than that it gets left outside all the time and just works. Would buy another... It’s the SG-S501, but think the design has changed since then.

Bar tape had been fucked by the little shites who nicked it a few months back. Will probably get round to replacing it at some point.

Given the lugs and the logo on the seatstays, my guess would be it's a one-off 90s mtb cycletruck conversion with a fresh powdercoat.

That started life as either a Raleigh Mirage or Yukon, the seat stay caps are a giveaway:

The torch is for inevitable repairs down the road?
Or maybe just a devil's headlight?

Heating up that crack pipe?

That's a lot of miles Dave.

For travelling convenience needs to be turned around.

Yeah, it’s over 10 years old and is on its second bike. And sadly majority of my miles are commuting / work.

Super sick. I've been on the lookout for a 7900 for a potential disc conversion for years.

Yeah it is a fun frame. We found it in the skip. Paint job was rough so we decided it was alright to modify it.
My mate did the brazing. Was his first framebuilding thing.

Black stickered rims with tanwalls and chrome mudguards is a pretty grim combination

A customer’s well loved Chas Roberts and I’m in love with it.

Is the customer or the bike Ruth? Also very functional, makes me think of a Dutch oma-bike

Needs guards then peak functional. I love how it looks so passable to theives but is quality throughout.
