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.
