This is my daily rider.
Early 90s Raleigh ATT23 frame with unknown forks, Rigida wheels and most of the groupset from a 1990 Marin and some V brakes from my bits bin.
Converted to single speed using one cog of the 7 speed rear cassette and the XT (I believe) middle chainring. Ratio is 2.25 to 1 so I can use it off road on loose rocky bridlepaths and still climb hills.
Tyres are some cheng shin dual purpose ones that a mate found by the side of the road in Brighton.
I guess it counts as a rat.
