Hi all,
For sale I have my Rat Bike, its served me well for the past two maybe three winters. Its great fun, with a nice easy gear so you can easily slow down brakeless (42-16). It wheelies and bar spins really well which is a good laugh. I built it as a winter beater which takes on anything, good for riding across grass land and then back onto roads etc. Looks like a heap of crap so unlikely to receive any unwanted attention, but at the same time I think it looks really cool!
Its an old Ralliegh MTB frame that I had shot blasted. I built up some Halo Freedom Disc 26" rims onto system ex hubs, so they're strong and light. Its got Park Identiti Forks with a disc mount so you can run a brake if necessary. The bars are old S&M race bars that I ground down. It has an FSA pig headset. It has Odessey Plastic Pedals and some awesome foot straps which I bought off someone on here. Other things include Suntour cranks and a KMC chain with three chain links from a chain whip...
There is some surface rust near the bottom bracket as I ground all the paint back and then clear coated it with a rattle can, must have missed that area. I give it coat about this time each year before winter and then grind the flakey bits off after winter and repeat.
Unless you live in Norwich I'll have to post it.
