Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

Too clean and tidy to be rat.

Functional >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

<<<<<<<<< beater?

sneaky look at my daily commute:

Love that paint job

What's beater about it? the slightly dirty rear wheel?

in my mind beater is how you ride it and stuff.
its just early in its beater life

Looks like a decent conversion to, pretty hard for a conversion not to be a beater

My beater in it's current form.

What straps are they?

Nice bike.

its a hack about with cheap / worthless parts that were laying around, which = i ride much more than my other bikes as i dont mind it being locked up = its loads more fun

plus its much dirtier now

What straps are they?
Nice bike.

they are some i got off someone who was making handmade ones for the forum last year (unfortunately think he has stopped making them now as he is a courier), they are great and better than restrap by far in my opinion

i have the same straps, they are great, best i have ever i owned.

I have the same ones and don't like them that much just to throw it into the balance

...they are great and better than restrap by far in my opinion

comparison?

I have a pair too, I don't like them either

comparison?

I found the restraps I had flopped around and were much more difficult to get the foot into as a result, these seem to hold the shape much better and therefore are loads easier to slip the foot into. different people are going to have different results I guess, but for me they work a treat
