Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

^^^ agreed

B0N0R's rat and the "not-a-concorde" are looking tidy in their distance get ups.

Makes me wanna put a tri & drops on mine

Bonor's bottle cage looks like its held on by tape?

There should a thread devoted to things he holds together with tape...

Looks like velcro.

On B0N0R's one that's definitely tape.

I would love that thread

This is perfect.

Reminds me of that concorde that was posted here a while back. So much perfection in one bike.

now we're talking

^^ any ideas which frame and forks that is? It's fucking awesome and I could get my continental winter 37mm's in there.

^

yeah. Thats my bike.

Frame is probably Diamand road/touring frame. Track ends added later by Olli Erkkilä. Fork is ishiwata steel with suntour drops, its from old finnish Nopsa road bike.

good luck.........

Fork might just be of a touring bike that would fit a 700c x ... wheel + mudguard. I have a 28x1 1/2 tire (700x35-38B) fitted in one without problems. Rear might be a little problem, but nothing that a whack on the side of the stays where it rubs won't fix.

I'll try remembering taking a photo tomorrow.

Edit: beaten to it.

this is so perfect! those tires are hugeeeee!

Thanks for the replies...fuck me that's so simple, a fucking touring frame with new track ends. I can't believe its so obvious but I didn't think of it. Cheaper than a surly frame as well.

I even rang rourkes and them other fuckers in Yorkshire...they both fucked me off coz I was being a pillock...can't fit 37mm in a road frame...^^ my arse!
