Dose that have 700c's on a 26" frame?

^^ Nah ESB was designed to be able to run either size of wheel comfortably

It's almost not ratty enough...

Also, spotted this outside the Colosseum when I was in Rome. Mad drillium, I think this is the logical thread?

needs more frankenbikes.

^ Scott is a fail and win smoothie.

^ Needs a higher gear ratio, but apart from that I really like that bike.

The stem and bar angle looks great imho, but the whole thing is ace for an old, but loved, rat bike with character.

Built by a guy on STW, he's made loads of mad bikes

Yeah, but the bike it's more rat for sure and Sharky's got new tattoos.

fanboy:)

^^ needs real cycling boots

^^Not a rat/franken, just a shit bike.

^Not a rat/franken, just a shit bike, with an Affix Freefix hub but no brakes so it's a death trap too.

Jus sayin.

Thats awesome.

Is there some cable ziptied around that frame? or am i seeing things?

How is it not rat/franken I threw it together for a friend to ride from parts I had lying around, the affix was just on for the pic yesterday because I had the rear wheel on something else.

So it's a spare parts bike.

Maybe fits in this thread under the beater part of the title but it's not a rat as it isn't well used and worn in and it's not a franken as it's not a bike adapted from one use to another or made from combining bits of different bikes into one uniquely functional bike.

That bike's nothing special, it's just old parts, I don't see anything interesting about it - mechanically or aesthetically. The only thing about it worth commenting on is the lack of foot retention and the freewheel.

Don't know him, but I don't think he's the guy in the picture

Led shoe laces? If so I've got a couple on my bikes too.
