Jay75, i really really like that!

Mexican beater

I had that Dale in my house a bunch of times, it was like an extra wall.

Lovin' this but it's not really that much of a rat bike?

That's Dustin from MASH's bike.
Great posts as usual, BMXED.

Oh yes, my French porteur bike;

Need to change brake for Mafac, rear wheel a bit out of true and the headset need greasing, wired up the dynamo but I love that thing.

Ed, surely that's not the same Peugeot you bought off me? Whatever happened to that out of interest?

Been welding this together, pretty proud of it as my rat/frankenbike so far

Looks fun, wish I lived somewhere flat would ride something like this... did you make the bar/stem as well?

Very nice stedlocks... beater my arse, wouldn't leave this locked up in Londons famous streets...

yep, a bit of a mess, but I reckon I'll paint the whole thing sooner or later

Think they look pretty good fella... Would you fancy building me a similar pair, with slightly different dimensions?

I'm sure I could knock some more together for you over the next couple of weeks if its something simple your looking for.
I'm not great at tig welding though but getting better slowly, I reckon I'll file down the weld smooth before painting

I'd be after a bare set, then maybe just laquer them...

I don't mind them not looking perfect, adds character... and you can take your time no worries.

will take some measurements and pm you tomorrow.

cheers

i would also love something like that

There we go.
Jay, brace yourself.

haha... I will pay double if you promise not to make nf any...

(;

ha, i saw them bars and was about to ask if he could make me some there saw malaysian's comment. they are awesome!

No, I know it is. It has fluro yellow Halo wheels, a white chain and riser bars

you did win those wheels in fairness

I have a bike with those Halo fluro yellow wheels. I picked up a cheap OTP track bike last year and decided not only to go with the garish yellow colour scheme but to "enhance" it.

Possibly the yellowest bike on the streets of London, when I took that pic. Doesn't have the yellow bar tape any more ;) Still, it's much less likely to be stolen than my other bikes.

Fucking YELLOW!!

The wheels are more likely to be stolen - hiptastic

pffft.

maybe we should merge this with the hipster thread before it gets out of hand...

^^ that bike can suck out, hipster trainer shop, fakie rat is the new hhsb?

seems that way, can't wait to see rat bikes with cracked/ brokenarrow spokks being wheeled down brick lane... cos that would be like, ultimate rat.

this isn't bike porn, stop being so fussy and post some bikes
