Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

:)) well my previous build had a 52 14 and managed to stop so this is easy ......You Never Do..i like to go fast kinda like a nascar driver
the handelbar and stem weigh little over 300 grams so that is the reasoning behind it ( i am a bit of a weight weenie with a flite carbonio and slicker tyres it will go to about 6.8 kg ) .. i still have the original handlebars tho... anyway thanks for the interest :D
PS i study in Bournemouth but originally from Romania

I'm in Bournemouth too! I'll keep an eye out for this.

Saw this awesome Bob Jackson in Angel yesterday.

^ Yes!

The owner must be like 8 foot tall

That's big tall Matt's bike.

He's not on here. Lovely bike.

its there everyday, owner is commuting with it to work. haven't ever seen him yet though.

So wrong but so right. . .

woah that jackson has some pretty ancient paint, love the patina its built up, almost a shame to put a lock round it and rub :/
guess its equiv of 64cm or larger?

??

Isn't that how you get patina?

Just what I thought. If it was the same age with mint original paint I'd get your point, it looks like that because it's been commuted on

Too bad the overuse of photographic effects, this bike seems to be nice. The photoshop butcher ruined the picture though.

The "butcher" is the owner (my brother) - the bike's a custom italian job - not sure whether it's photoshopped or just shot on film and scanned with a cheap scanner! - I'll have to ask...
The bikes currently run as a geared vintage build, still with original paint, but almost exclusively vintage non-campag italian kit (Gipiemme, Galli, Modolo etc)

Crazy clearance up front! Front wheel sort of looks boring compared to the rest :)

It was late and my eye sight was being affected by port and/or cheese.
