Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

What’s the frame? Reminds me of this little Argos bike that I always thought was quite tidy looking

It's exactly that

Its a slow build but shes coming together
Brakes are ratty, but i used a bit of black marker to cover that up.

What happened to the paint?

It's a Colnago

When i got it a few years ago it looked like this (photo 3) I wanted to just sand it all down and redo a white paintjob.
Turned out the og paint was underneath bit had already been sanded down so i just left it like that

I see! You did a good job getting the old paint to show again.

Yeh im not gonna lie i got quite a few hand cramps thanks to the clover shaped tubing and difficult joints.
But happy with it, if i had gone any further the paint would of fallen off, you can see in some parts the original paint started to "break" as i got through to it.
But someone had "prepared" the frame before that horrible thick paint job.

Well done, looks great!

Parts bin beater commuter. Rides really well considering how battered the wheels are.

Wish I had that growing, it was a an old bmx tube guard thing instead of that saddle and the smallest braze ons for those huge 70s lights.
We crashed.

Just built this up as a pub bike/26" BMX klunker-thing.
The frame is quite nice with Tange Prestige tubing but not exactly in a pristine condition.

$$$ bits on a POS frame is always a weird combo imo.
