He thinks that this is a classifieds thread.

I must say it seems a bit much to compare the mad-genius of René with some 60-minute makeover emulsion bullshit
have some respect sir.

not necessarily rat but rad

The artist and the buyer know it's a new or newish bike with a rad paint job, for a few it's the golden chalice of wabi sabi and for most others it's a ratty looking old bike.
It doesn't look like what it is.

Not a fan of trompe-l'œil then?

golden chalice of wabi sabi

Nice
I'm quite taken by this.
Rat bike lovers, your ropey looking rides reflect your sense of mortality, suffering and emptiness.

No man, it's a total cost for components.

not really

That's the thing though, rat bikes have honour through heavy usage.
René's bikes could become that way I suppose - #howmeta

not sure what you're referring to

Am I the only one who's getting this?

He paid 35 quid for that build.

Sorry, I see that now.
