Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

We might be talking about a beater here, but certain rules still apply, such as treating your bike with dignity.Bar tape is generally black or white, while needless to say there are exceptions; natural leather for instance is perfectly acceptable on vintage bikes..

I actully think that leaher bar wrap is a relativly modern gimmick to give new bike a vintage look. If you look at old 60's-70's race/TDF bikes they have black and white bar wrap but a lot of of colour to..

And to me the whole point of a beater is to deprive it off dignity and treat it like shit.. :-)
