Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

How much do you want for the Phil/type wheels Apollo?

Pink/purple works with yellow right?

Wheel says yes!

Not reached its rat potential by a long shot, but it'll get there...

Looks nice. Black out the Miche logos and get some barends on there and then it's definitely on the right path.

I was looking forward for Misha's bike to appear in this thread.
Totally belongs here. Although looks nice/cared after in the photos, but it is actually an ugly beater. I remember those mudguards from plastic bottle of beer he made few years ago

^I want that velosuper with the fluidisc/shamal combo

Hi,
found my bike here, thanks!
It's my shopping bike. Frame is a repainted (not by me) XB3 Rekord from Ukraine without brake holes. I live in a quiet countryside, not in a city and at the moment there's no need for brakes.
Now, I put an extension on the front mudguard to better cover my feet and I've mounted a Crud Roadracer on the rear.
Clearance is not an issue, sometimes the front fender touches the frame but no more and I don't care that much.
Anyway, I know this is not the ideal shopping bike but it's fine with me.

Rad ride. Diggin it.

^ Wow, 10 pitch.... that's Grand.

Spotted this pretty ratty terry dolan yesterday
