Please dont stop; it's funny, not annoying.

just because you have a fixed idea as to what may or may not be a rat bike, frankenbike or beater, should not limit the possibilities of posting what I think of as a rat, frank or beater. 90% of the 'rat' bikes in this thread are fakeups, the style junkies are hijacking the content. I am merely posting 'interesting' finds. what is sad is that there is a discussion going on about how to fit front racks onto track bikes. Get a fucking grip, this is only the internetz.

Oh well, I guess this thread had a pretty good run.

Let's see 'em!

I'm embarking on rat bike project and wouldn't mind some inspiration - really solid beaters are proper bike porn to me!

Favouritism given to rusty machines... where's that rusty fuji?

Spirit of the thread?

I am merely posting 'interesting' finds.

Make a folder on desktop. Put them there.

These aren't ratbikes....
spirit of the thread you say

This.

First time I've enjoyed the look of an anodized CK headset.

Saw this in Carnaby Street, bare Moulton ATB;

Didn't even notice that ck headset, it indeed looks good!

Have you considered Glasses?

Readers rat...
