Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

Raceblades are the most pointless of mudguards IMO.

I guess Crud Road Racers might just fit.

What tyres are those? Ones I'm using at the moment are fucking dire in the rain.

Oh, I meant RoadRacers might just fit if I switch to 28c tyres. Currently fitted are 30c Schwalbe CXPro.

No. Ass Savers are the most pointless mudguards.

^^The 3-speed is great.

I do get the cool hybrid thing, but the fact is put drops on the serotta and its perfect!

mechanical_vandal: What is that between the saddle and the frame? I've seen that at more bikes on this forum.

Verbs & Nouns: Oh now that is a decent bike. I agree with Mikey about the drops. Would be perfect. Wheels look great.

i don't really agree. i ride most of my bikes with risers or north-road bars. drops do have the cliched aesthetic we are accustomed to.....but without any of the ergonomic advantages...... flat, risers or north-road are fast, functional and comfortable. go with what works.

its a lock, a chain inside an inner-tube..... keep your saddle a little longer.

I have ridden loads of different bars too, risers, flat, pursuit, midge, many a drop etc. Just saying if you have spent the money and have everything else pretty much road spec with road geometry, I am sure the person could find a road bar which is comfortable for them. Road bars are no cliché, they are comfortable with a range of hand positions and obviously proven fast on the road. blah blah blah still a nice bike.

It's easy to swap bars over, so drops could always be installed at a later date. I have never really gotten of with drops, tried many times, just not my thing. I guess you have to go with what works for you. The bike looks practical for city use. I would ride the hell out of it.

Feel sorry for the Guerc for some reason

The bartape and pedals feel a little like boils upon a lovely bottom

Feel sorry for the Guerc for some reason

Why?

Edit: now looking at it again, it dose look very busy, it is only my beater though...

Here is my current ride
Paint seems to fall off if you look at it

That's cool as fuck ^

^^ thats rad. front wheel doesnt look very beater suitable though!

Front wheel was in essence free so completely beater suitable

^^^^ 1st dibs whenever you selling.

I dig it! Aside from the pedals, but I have a general dislike for multicoloured pedals. Aside from that, fucking rad

Have no intention of selling as it's a real nice frame and it fits me. One day it might even get a proper paint job.

I hear you but things happen, you know.

Looks great! Always good to see practicality come second to radicality!
