Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

Might install brkless on some wide bars from time to time for an easy sled ride over to HHV on a weds evening from time to time but for riding in central with any purpose a brakes a must

Inb4 shit fixie skidders say

This, so many times, is why I always have at least one brake nowadays when riding fixed

Just to clarify... should I get a brake?

You just won the meme contest!

I usually ride fixed to work, can slow down/stop/do a skid with the legges™ but twice in the last 6 months I've pulled the front brake hard enough to lift the rear wheel off the ground while seated due to pedestrians stepping out between stationary traffic. I'd have hit either or both of them if I was brakeless. Cars to both sides so nowhere to go but straight and only a couple of metres to stop

Maybe. Don't fancy doing a Charlie though

bell > brake

yea but yell > bell

bell you mean hellment?

Good points, thanks all for the input. I’ll practice a little more at low speeds/ quiet areas and look into a front brake.

Having fun repairing up the genesis flyer I picked up off here the other month. First job was to roll out a downtube dent. Next will be to take all the paint off and then fill the remaining blemish.

Got myself a bit of a bargain on a PDW takeout rack which looks pretty rad and suits this bike well I think. I'm spoilt by the giant basket on my Pashley, so it's just nice to have somewhere to chuck a few bits if I don't have a bag with me.

Hi guys, I've been watching all the pages from this sub and now it's my turn to show the new beater sourced from the local bike association. Runs really smooth.

looks great!

I don't know who it belongs to, but this is parked outside my shop at the moment and it's pretty cool.
