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.

Yeah sure! but sill too many stickered non-rats being praised in this thread. jussayin.

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.

?

Who's even eligible to judge a rat?
It's a state of mind, if you think you bike is a rat and treat it like a rat then who can say otherwise?

If you haven't seen it you can't have been paying much attention.

Ratbikes need to be ridden, doesn't even have pedals.

He's got a point though. Dirty stickered bikes can>>> and find their own thread.

It's like posting your bike in the Functional bikes thread because you put a front rack on a track bike. Or posting your fixie conversion in the snow in the Winter/Snow bikes thread because you're out riding in snow.

Ooh look, I'm running in shoes. Am I therefore wearing running shoes? No!

^^^ you almost got me there, successful troll is successful

Well yes and no, look at 1/2 the bikes in the snowbike thread, where you gonna draw the line?
If you use your bike solely as a rat then what else is it? If you run in your vans and that's all you use them for they're your running shoes.

get to know then mate

I will.

Pfffff.

They may be your running shoes. But they're not running shoes, they're skate shoes.

Does anyone make a frame with the intentions of it being a ratbike?

Hmmm... a Dirty Stickered Bike Thread?.... that sounds like a good idea. Or maybe they could just go in a beater or pub bikes thread?

;)

I think posting your own beaters in here is fine, but I don't see a great deal of value in just plonking any old beater you've found on the net.

I mean you can, and people can just move on to the next post, but there doesn't seem much value added imo.
