  • So good! What's the frame?

  • ^Ideal pub cruiser; you could actually install a bar on the bike...

  • Some one needs to make one with a FGFS bike!

  • It's my friends bike, I think the frame is a Panther or Jaguar or some other feline name. Leopard maybe? Made in West Germany IIRC and later modified by this gentleman:

    Rossin fork, duct taped Kashimax and other parts bin bits.

  • Steel Mash Bolt comes to mind.

  • ^^ looks like the last place you'd need a mudguard.

  • Well, as you can see, the ground is still damp. Think monsoon season is around this time in the far east.

  • Don't know what happened here, but shee-it.

    mankkis, got more info?

  • ^ Surely it would've cheaper to just buy a new hub than re drill it in odd locations and buy correct lengthed spokes

  • Actually not really, the holes aren't that out and you do have 2-3mm to play with on spokes, clever idea.

  • a great idea, and probably stronger than before :)

  • Surely it would have been better to run the spokes 3x in the first place.

  • Don't know what happened here, but shee-it.

    mankkis, got more info?

    gromada.waw.pl

    poles, of course!

  • Has some rat bike vibe to it

  • This one........minus the wheelset&tyres, needs a few months on the road also.

  • Looking through this thread, It's come to my attention that it's probably worth mentioning that STICKERS DO NOT MAKE YOUR BIKE RAT!

    RAT is about using whetever you got or can get your hands on to make your bike work. then run that shit into the ground and replace/bodge anything that needs as you go along. Odd mismatching parts are inevitable, ugly parts are still just bad taste.

    NB, your bike aint rat just coz you got some paint chips, stickers and a tear in your seat. Nor is it rat just coz you stripped the paint from the frame, or just coz you have a vintage frame with a loada new parts! Nor does it mean that you dont give a shit about your bike.

  • You're like the 5000000000th person to say that, it is true that stickers do not make a rat but stickers don't disqualify you from rattyness.

  • Debate-able.

  • stickers do not make a bike rat, but they may well make it pub bike/beater so they belong here surely?

  • sex ^

  • bet that would give you a bad back.

  • Cool bike!

    *Cool sticker too in the top right corner.
