Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

I made it myself.

Rebuilding this yet again after all the parts stripped onto another frame were stolen. Full build pic is the old set up.

I was riding a Dutch bike for 6 months and fell in love so this is a lightweight version with slightly better breaking hopefully.

Will probably bodge the current block and use it single speed or search for a friction shifter in parts bin as I think I have an old campy mech that match up with the wheels. Would love a coaster wheel but that’ll come later maybe.

Rack and possibly big basket incoming. Might get rid of the yellow saddle so it stands out a little les son the street and inevitably buy some mudguards in the coming months.

Modern bar in an old stem looks really nice on that.

Hot damn! Cool to see a classic Baker's Bike still rolling

This is my attempt at making a bike as hopefully un-nickable as possible.
Picked up a ratty Create from FB Marketplace with vulgar gold rims, and then covered the frame in stickers and chucked on a few parts bin leftovers.
So far so good - and actually I kind of like how terrible it looks, and I think maybe I'd actually be quite upset if something happened to it. Ah well.

If you really wanna step it up a notch, go mismatched rims, pedals and grips.

Oh, and crank arms :)

Do I spy a Black Spoke Collective sticker there?

Not terrible at all. This is proper forum roots!

Yeah! Grabbed a bunch of bits from them a while ago.

I've added a rad yellow basket that someone had put out with their bins the other day for extra scene points. Just need to have a fiddle with the bracket bit because it's too low and rubbing on the front tyre at the moment.

No longer brklss then?

I've got one on the front, yep :)

I don't think anyboy will nick that, those rims are indeed hideous! 😬

still my favourite morrisons
