Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

It's a Cannondale road bike, probably CAAD4, that I found in the bin. Too large for me, but just-not-caring helps. Dropouts DIY.

e: fixed a typo

what forks are they that you put on? cos the caad 4 wasnt that geo? or is it cos of the dropouts?

Last two are awesome.. Thanks!

Ace "Victory" logo up there.

Like said, it's a trashbin-find. Was rattlecanned matte black. I dont know what frame it was originally, but the seatstays had this "handmade in usa" decal under the paint. Feel free to find the correct CAAD-model for me :)

Forks are original, or well, at least they were on that bike when i got it.

Its DIY. Feel free to copy the model :P

Horrid leader clearances makes for great space for large tyres :P

Vanttera, dude you're my hero.

cool conversions, cool rack! but It needs more holes for windy days or great speeds

Vanttera, what did you use for cutting the holes?

I used a hole saw and it butchered the alloy and made terrible mess of it.

Also intrigued, as the one I made had a load of channel sections under the plate to act as structural supports... which I then realised it didn't need most of!

Do you have anything under or just the axle mount supports?

Also, what thickness plate did you use, what process did you use for folding it (never thought of that meself!), and what material did you use for the axle supports?

Love this!

That looks like a hell of a lot of fun.

Awesome range

hardly a rat bike tho?

fyft

It will be a Beater.

When it is, post it in this thread. Until then, don't

if it will be it kinda already is?
