Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

-Standard brakes/retention comment-
(I just wouldn’t want you to accidentally overshoot the pub)

Coaster brake.

Haha no worries, running a Sram Automatix hub with a coaster brake.

Ah, cool. I did look for a coaster brake but I didn’t think it looked like one. Pubwards ho!

Here's the current state of my steamroller. Pretty ratty, though it has rather decent parts and almost everything was bought new, many miles ago.

Is this the one that was set-up geared?

Yes. It's been gearless for about a year now again as I got another bike for that.

Love that

I rebuilt my 1984 (?) montare again. I finally tracked down a matching (close enough) fork. it definitely feels and looks a lot nicer. Hope it's cool that I post it again.

You bought it new?

Definitely no, I'm like half the frames age, I just think it's cool. I bought it with many battle scars from a co-op, and apparently the original owner dropped it off (so props to them, whoever they are)

Gotcha, well done regardless.
Those stays are almost as long as my Clem's!

The bike is comically long and slack, it looks pretty ridiculous in person honestly and it's definitely a polarizing bike, some love it some simply despise it and liken it to a road bike that tboned a semi trailer, knocking the top half way back.

I say that's a Barcalounger Prince, guaranteed to put the pilot in a better frame of mind.

Good match with the forks, looks great

Frankenrat winner for sure.

That’s spectacular

Wasn't sure where to put this but thought it deserved to be somewhere!

Probably verging on anti. But it's definitely a beater.
