Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

Pretty sure this is a Nagasawa.

EDIT: Actually, I'm sure it is.

OK we get it, cheap rattlecan jobs flake away creating fake-rat look.

those look like lock up contact points...

im willing to giv'em benefit of the Doubt

What is that cast piece of finery?

My beater. Ready for a run to the chip shop/pub etc. Love it, even with all it's knackered parts. The frame is a BSA, everything else is from the parts bin of Superluca (forum member and previous owner) and my garage. I might put the Brooks saddle back on that came with it but it is in a pretty sorry state.

ofmega mistral

29ers?

Meh.

Hehe, ^ another of my builds goes straight to the rat-thread!
There's another franken/rat feature that may interest followers of this thread.
The rear hub comes from a jump-bike and came with a 12mm turned axle. Luckily the OD of the sealed bearings was the same as a Surly rear hub so I was able to swap out the bearings, cones and axle with a broken Surly donor hub - the result is most excellent (IMHO)

Oh hell yeah, reminds me of B0N0Rs rat

Oh yeah...

^ praise indeed.
(B0N0R's is one of my favorite forum bikes)

mine
seems legit now

love this bike

^^Hold up, B0N0R is this your bike in a new guise?

Don't think Emi Browns bike has been posted here, its a Leader, wonky track drops and no tape, but i still like it, seems like a pretty cool guy anyway.

His Bianchi is better.

someone is seriously stealing my swagga

... its the most honest form of Flattery

29ers?

Meh.

This must have been a fun wheel build. "I need 400 spokes, 15000mm length and 10 hours of time"

and a separate room.

But the first hill bomb would make up for it :)

wait, is that actually not your bike zzB0N0Rzz? Who's is it?

love them beaters and rat bikes y por eso... i bought a scott.

lovely that. Assume the saddle will go.

I think I'm reposting myself here. Oh well.
