very nice. The fork is cool, matching raw bars too!

MAX frame or something along those lines, have not seen a disc brake build though...

New rat, super tight, toptube looks slighlty bent tho

super tight

Reversing the fork will do that, yes.

Very good.

Its shortened, it doesn’t fit under downtube other way.

Shortened? Your fork is the wrong way around mate.

The fork probably also bent during the crash that fucked the tt

it doesn’t fit under downtube other way.

Am only now reading this correctly; my bad.

Then @kjlem is probably right.

How are you so sure they aren't that steep on purpose? Just curious
Edit: on further inspection that frames looking pretty wonky, probably are bent lol

rad!

Never thought I would say this about a Bromton but looks cool!

Frame is a cheap chinese steel frameset that one bike shop sold locally, the previous owner was a welder, fork shortened, geo was wonky even before whatever crash bent the top tube. Got the full bike for 60eur, spray painted it and will be solid.

Hugh Porter frame I'm building up as a daily/beater.

His and Hers pub bikes

My cracked Condor Pista and her Scott Montana MTB thing half way through the same beer can labelling 'enhancement'.

Need to replace the QR seatpost skewer with a bolt and we could clean out the busted 7spd shifter but riding it SS (by not shifting) for now. It has some knobbies but I might try and squeeze in the Fat Frank tyres I had on the Inbred.
