Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

Gadam!

Here's my pub bike. Build it because I was bored. Looks like crap. I used a brush to paint the frame white. It's hammerite. I also handpainted the lugs green. Mostly build from spare parts I had laying around. I bought the seatpost, chain, mudguards and bottom bracket new. The rest is old stuff. I do need a new bottom bracket because I indra'd this one on the inside.

Also need an allen key to level the bars. The ones I got don't fit. Brake lever might be nice too.

Do a search, there's at least one for sale on here.

Yeah I might do that. I can't skid with straps and only use it when I'm actually going to the pub :P

Going to build up a new beater though. I got Gipiemme Pista wheels stored somewhere. Going to respoke the rear with a Sturmey Archer Duomatic. Front with ehh... something cheap (can't be worse then the original right?). Rebuilding my old conversion frame.

Copenhagen seta?

yep

not 29Gnar

looks interesting. what would the benefit be of this gear set-up? Teds places the gear in the center of the frame, also centering the weight and reducing rolling weight?

My ratty runabout, probably my favourite tarck of all...

he also has an offset seattube so he can shorten the chainstays, somehting that this does not have

but what does this^^^^^ one do? what are the advantages of a double chainset and two chains? i have searched can't so far find anything on it.....

I think it's just done for shits and giggles etc..

desticker and it's not a rat...

It's dented, chipped and rusty....

Bloody love that bike (barring the seatpost and seat for aesthetic reasons) even if you have posted it about 20 times (You too Apollo, with your WBV)

hey leave me out of this... :)

Ha, well, excited cross posting ensues after such monumental stuff as switching to threadless carbon parafamdem...

So is my Vivalo :P

Pentagram inner chainring increases kvlt status quite significantly.

Speed is satan-aided.

Looks more like a flower...power.....

haha fair enough!

It appears so in this set up. If you switched the satanic chainset around do that the chain running to the wheel was on the outer ring and the chain going to the crankset was on the inner ring then that would be one way to get a massive gear ratio

Some stuff I from here and there.

Excuse last awkward man.
