Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

Was a broken ebike with no battery. I just got a new rear wheel for $5 from marketplace and stripped all the ebike shit off it.

I think I really need an acid face disc in my life.

This was a fun bike haha

I've run such disc before, still have one in the flat!

Why did you use a chain tensioner whild you have horizontal drop outs?

QR and single speed don't always play together nicely, I had major issues with axle slipping with a previous build. Although with properly knurled steel QR faces it should be no issue.

This looks terrifying and I love it

What QR lever are you using? A decent closed cam Shimano QR should be pretty solid. Lightweight open cam designs will slip though.

Now I use some beefy old school Shimano ones with proper steel faces, those are solid indeed.

Parts bin gravel beater. 1954 Viking Mileater with Nervex lugs. Just the right amount of patina I think.

Perfect pub bike, just drop the saddle once you’ve had too many and drais home

Nice, nice. Are they the original brake calipers?

Yep, clarkes. Bike is currently in bits but I might put it back together with some better ones..

Sweet yeah, I'm liking some of the smaller details on it. Really want a Zee mech for mine
