Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

is that a 32h hub/rim laced with 16 radial spokes? sounds well safe! ;)

What bars are they?

risers

bicycle handlebars

Nice to see a Ciombola in London (I'm assuming).

Aus I believe. Melbs?

^ the stem bar combo looks really good.

i bet the deflection on that stem is awful though

'pea, also.

Except the bars are angled upwards, which is never right.

Are they?

I love this tread! It needs more ratbikes. This bike belonged to a messenger in amsterdam in the 90's.

^Nice bike, but is it crash damaged? What's up with the bulge in the down tube?

Battle scars...

Final tweaks to my rat bike... ratty pictures to match, it looks worse in real life too... (Same frame as my "good" bike so rides similar).

i can finally post my bike! havent got any big pictures, will soon.

I think my new build would classify as a rat bike...

all owners of USPS replicas are advised to do the same

Apart from the tyres, I do like that trek for some reason... and I don't normally like flat/riser bar conversions.

Because it look like a typically shit trek hybrid?

Hmmm, for once I agree with you Mr. Scoble.

Hybrids is shite, and Trek don't make em better.

I just don't don't agree with putting flat/riser bars on a track or race frame, but thats just me.
