Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

ugly as fuck

As I said frankenbike.
Like the rear spoke at the front.

Thx for the trouble B0N0R

The front wheel :O
A rear, QR track wheel with the sprocket still on......

nah it's just a road rear with a track cog on the freewheel thread

I love it

I could do the same with my Zipp 3000... if I was a dick.

not sure if i posted these...

this is my workhorse - i reckon it fits most in this thread.. (sorry for bad quality pic. and yes, i know about the bar angle)

I like! How come you need a tensioner with those nice long dropouts?

^ mudguards probably dont move

Good shout but there's an inch or so at the top of those SKS stays is there not?

might be right.
might just be a simpler solution though

Both lovely.

2nd looks exactly like Celia's polo bike.

budget conversion, risers, no extra fancy parts, always nice.

i just don't like having unused braze-ons/parts so 'filled them up'. that's the explanation for the shifters too

Ah right. A touch of the OCDs. I'd be the opposite - knowing the tensioner was surplus would bug me out. I like your ride though.

thanks, man. i just don't want to destroy the minimalistic fixed ride in the hungarian winter.. (salty melted snow on the roads. yum!)

Some shots of my ratty pub bike

Like it - some similarities with my current winterbeater....
Are the track-ends original or have they been replaced?

Colour is boss.

@Rik track ends are original I do believe. its a mid - late 50s Carlton track frame.

Better pic of my langster beater.

^^ Ah yes, I can see that now, The period track forks are very elegant too, as are the lugs. I do like seeing vintage track irons pressed into use as beaters,
here's another from my collection

Deserves a full post i think.
