Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

^masterpiece!

no elite ;)

I need a Dale frame soooo bad.

No, you WANT one soooo bad. :P

Hate it when you find a close up without a full pic of the bike

I'm sure I've seen a full photo of that bike before whilst lurking in the depths of flickr. I think it's a Schwinn Paramount.

very close toby, but that bike doesn't have a white fork. So its definitely not the one posted before.

I love the paint job on that.

Poor use of small-smallish ratio. tuts

I guess this belongs here, pretty cool! i want one.

No, you WANT one soooo bad. :P

No, I need one :D

^ Interesting spoke pattern. Took me ages to work out it's a 36h rim with every 3rd spoke missing. Not sure if I like it, but it is interesting, and it's certainly on a rat!

No, I need one :D

Well get in line mate, I want mine first! ;D

I want one, with a caad5 road bike so I can have matching looking bikes the frames are that nice :D

my daily beater/work/fun & fav bike i have :)
classed as rat (?) cost me all of £20 to build ;)

be gental my first post lol
peace

^^ SkintNick - Pity about photo quality, but it does look like quite an abused and good rat/beater mate, good stuff.

From CP -

Here's a photo of my rat/beater.
It's rattier than it looks here, although this is after a little clean.

^ I'd cover that chain with some innertube or something. It is gonna rattle and ruin your paint

not the thread where that kinda thinking matters

I'll admit it rattles quite a bit and I've been planning on tightening it up a bit when I can find my chain tool.
I'm not fussed about the paint at all though since I've been thinking about stripping it and clearcoating anyway.
