Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

What's the story behind this bike? Brakeless?

Saw this hanging around outside a shop in cornwall. So fucking rad.

I'll be in cornwall this time next week, dying to get some miles in and praying for decent weather.

... CSB

whereabouts?

Around Hayle.

Whole family is going en-masse on Saturday for grandparents 60th wedding anniversary.

Figured by about sat evening I'll be desperate to get the hell out of there, and might as well be riding rather than being the one bloke at the end of the bar no body knows drinking away his sorrows!

Is this yours?

Is that a Middleburn crank?

Give it to me.

yes, its mine.
nope, its probably one of those crusty shimano nexus cranks.

Added a Hell-Rack to my beater... Planning to do some spur of the moment over nighters this summer (when the wheater approves) and needed a rack for the sleeping/bivy bag etc..

Dont bump into anyone!

depending on your intent

Think this fits in here pretty well now
Getting progressively tattier

Took 20 minutes with a hammer and a drill. It may not be perfect, but it actually works!! The handling has improved drastically. Thank you all for the advice.

Looks much better.
Fill 'er up!

could probably bring it even closer, looks much better tho!

Rad.

Super jealous of everyone with awesome geared basket beaters...
May have to be a project soon...

You can definitely build one on a budget. The whole bike cost me around $300 to build. But almost all the parts are from swap meets or free stuff from the shop.

yeah think that may be my aim.
try get all the freecycle
