Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

Stealth, I like it
$45?! How much of the bike did you have to start with?

I skipped the frame, nearly complete. de-geared it, took of the inner chain ring, brought a shitty as wheelset, coloured in the braking surface with a sharpie (ghetto as fuck) chopped some drops. Brought budget pedals and a new chain and $3 rattle can paint job.
I'm digging the feel of cotton bar tape way more than i thought i would.

Does my new project qualify

Post it in current projects, let others decide whether it's worthy or not.
That is, once it can be ridden.

What's wrong with the chainring? For every three teeth, there are two missing?

Otherwise, the rat needs to be ridable.. but, nice parts and a interesting project - if it should be
