That bedroom will become a ratroom if keep parking your bike there. Cool bike nonetheless.

I want to see the owner (dis)mount that thing.

Needs a custom framebag...

A new lease off life for what was a dirty old rat.

I want to see them trying to use bottle cages.

Aren't they just as far down as on a normal bike?

Bag? A full on tent fits there.

It's the guy in the background looking concerned ha

'Fits perfectly!'

I’m laughing at having a frame made that big but then having your seat post slammed that far in. Guessing maybe not the original owner.

Not quite a rat but it's not perfect so...80's Italian track frame with a 30s English cockpit.

Are you sure it's Italian? Wrap around seat stays and reynolds tubing?

Ha haha : )

Good point. I'm just going on Olagnero. The decals could be wrong I suppose. It was restored by a Bristol frame builder so who knows...

One of my Neighbours on my rd has left this outside his flat. He spends many a day welding it on his balcony it had an electric motor but seems he’s got a new project. Very mad max.

sick dropper post

But that's an aluminium frame.

And what's welded to it is rusting.

So steel.

But...physics?

Duh

Baby Specialized summer cruiser. My old 13” Stumpjumper frame adapted to run 700c wheels salvaged from a police auction bike. Otherwise a typical parts-box build.

I think technically you could silver braze over the steel and then aluminium braze to the silver.
Not sure anyone actually does this and definitely not that guy on his balcony
