Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

700c wheels on a monster old Raleigh 27". frame an forks an ebay find had the brake guides knocked off the tt. and some bits an pieces. well light and an easy ride.

I am sorry, but beater or not I hate 700c on a frame made for 27" wheels. If you are going to do it get hugeeeeee tires!

I think it can look alright, especially if fenders are used.

Well I would but the tires and tubes were shot to pieces. So next best thing in me bits were these. Any offers for some ?

Stolen from HHSB thread.

This had potential, shame it got painted pink.

Get some Michelin World tours, 35c if they fit, which they probably will

Installed fenders and a new front rack on my beater.

Still my favorite bike.

This is really nice, i have a feeling i'd think the same if i owned it.

Yeah, I dig both of them a lot.

It's just something I found on eBay. Here's the link, but they seem to be sold out atm. It was meant to fit forks with cantilever mounts, but was easily modified with a couple of rubber/steel bands from a hardware store to fit a regular fork. Not as sturdy as my previous front rack, but it gets the job done.

Current rat, using until the new frame arrives.

fork? looks different and way better than current standard Gazzetta fork.

It's the old standard Gazetta fork.

wonder why they changed. the newer, slacker fork is one of the main things putting me off considering a gazzetta.

Urban cyclery still have them with the old forks

Thanks! Seems we have/had something similair. I'm looking for something less bulky and cheap for the bike above.

soon be ripped to shreds
