To me, a rat is usually beautiful but distinct from pr0n (no matter the cost of parts) because;
- It looks ridden / battered
The parts don't match
Stickers / adornments
The most important element IMO. That's what makes a rat bike, the whole dirty, shitty but working thing. It's taking decent parts and running them into the ground - I don't give a shit about some shiny porteur bike or shit conversions with baskets.
