Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

I disagree, that Cinelli may be nice but it belongs here, not in Porn.
At least not as I see Porn. The frame is Pornalicious but the owner has decided to
ride it, not keep it nice(r). Belongs in rat-bikes.

It's got a bit scratched up because it gets ridden?! No that makes it a 'normal' bike. And a very pretty one at that.

A true rat-bike or frankenbike is one that has evolved over time. Something that has bodged repairs holding it together that the owner always meant to make right but never quite got around to and hey, the bodge still holds so what's the problem. Something that the owner decided to paint one day to try and cover the rust up but the phone rang when he was half way through and he didn't get around to finishing the paint job. That's a rat-bike or frankenbike. Not a beautiful bike that has a few scuffs on its top-tube.
