Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

Indra, you tall bro?

Me too, I'm not one for pricey parts and perfect paint. I think most 'normal' people (including thieves) think it's a shitter, suits me fine!

Indra, you tall bro?

Not really, just hovering around 6' but have* very * long legs.

I think I've succeeded in taking some decent pics of the bike and the damage.

Note the extra piece of cord on the pedal acting as a fail-safe to them worryingly stretchy Brev M straps. Beats buying new ones ;)

As the sun has his hat on.....

I want this so bad, what size it is? Let me know when you decided to part with it!

^ wait wait wait..
its not your bike?

It is actually my daily ride and only bike at the mo. It's a 54tt and 49st, fits me good at 5ft.9''. I've never known the maker which kills me!! The old owner said it was British made 50's era but I don't know how reliable that is considering he clearly didn't know much about bikes. looks more like 60's era to me, the forks are Rixon 531's that I had cut to size.

Would be really hard to part with it but maybe one day. Cheers tho! :)

Proper rat bike for sure! made me jelous.

my low pro/beater is actually my daily commuter at the moment...

Sweet lo-pro buddy!
Was it an arse getting the chain set up with those dropouts? You running a tub up front?

Dope as hell bugbrave. What kind of bar tape is that? Perfect for that build

Last one, promise ;)

Nice one bro! the tape is just cheapo Velox cloth (ebay, £3). I must admit it was bright white at first which looked shocking! So I cheated a bit, a light dusting with sandpaper and a few days riding with dirty mits sorted it :P

There seems to be a bit of a NJS resurgence going on around here so I thought I'd use it as an excuse to post my NJSBeater.

no problem at all, just a Miche Primato hub with some spacers, chainline is spot on, its a 650c Gator clincher.

put a new saddle and new tires on the Mark V. It is what it is.

^ That thing is awesome!
Rep given

Agreed, although line up those tyre logos, might be a rat but have some class

I need Integralters in my life, should've bought the pair that sold here a while back ):

Mte.

George, what you put them on?

Fuck knows, they're just so sexy...

Bugbrave what bars are those?
