Rat-keghaulers? - it has to be a long-john

Only 5? You're not trying hard enough.

That is a truly epic picture

I think Doris deserves to be in this thread...

^Agreed
Is that a coaster or does doris need foot retention?

Coaster 2 speed. (S2C).
Still needs front brake and maybe foot retention in the future.

If anyone has one of those old bolt through brakes- I'd very much appreciate it.

The box makes the acoustics of riding very interesting. A low burbling sound as you pedal- its great.

There's a weinmann bolt-through in my parts bin that may be of use to doris.
PM me - I'm interested in your construction method on the box stays - I'm engaged in a DIY porteur rack project!

if that's a DIY respray they did a great masking job of masking off the chain stays and forks

I love ratty Dales. They also look so clean

the first bike on this page is fucking amazing!

are you sure? that's mine

I like that you stuck a 700 in a 26" frame! did you have to bend or move brake bridge?

What?! It's 27" front and back. Myabe it looks odd cos you don't see that many 40 spoke wheels around...

Someing mad cool about the kid on the Raleigh. Just looks like he's having mad fun! What it's about.

I <3 the rat thread.

stuF's rig looks even more impressively worn than mine, one day I'll get a photo of the anti-theft rig which is currently gaining 'patina' out in the rain right now :p

This is the blurb that accompanies the photo set on Prolly:

[quote=] Last night, the Chrome party was shut down before it even began by over-zealous cops and the fire marshall. Not wanting to hang around while groups of cops showed up, we all left. I kept my camera around my neck as a mob of track bikes tore through the SF streets at night…[/quote]
