Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

This doesn't look very looked after...

I still look after my beater though, if i had the money i would spend a lot on it to

Edit: what i mean is, a beater is different to different owners

I'm sure some people, like messengers spend over 1000 on it but its still used as a beater, but to others its a £10 bike from the junk yard that works like shit

you right, from that pic it doesn't, id say its a beater,

for me its not a case of the money, my beater is reasonable expensive and i look after it. all i find is in this thread there are some bikes that look brand new with loads of stickers on them, to me thats not a beater. Mines more if it looks like its seen years of use, but still works its a beater
