Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

its worked! that is a beaut! although i cannot get along with that brake lever!

Haha I know right, on there for emergencies, will remove the whole thing when I man up...

its not the brake that i cant get along with, its just the angle of the lever really, i hate the dilemma of wanting small risers and a brake lever. brakeless it is.

Then put on bigger risers!

^ yeah agreed indra, not saying i currently have said problem.

(but then you cant squeeze through as many gaps)

Hows does that help? Am I just being stupid here aha?

might as well use an old road frame with standard horizontal dropouts... who needs chain pensioners really?

behave

I own a pomp which wears full mudguards but if I want to remove the rear wheel I have to undo the mudguard mount down at the track end. It's a massive PITA but the low cost of the pomp along with it being right in every other way make it a worthwhile compromise.

Just use these black doodahs on the rear as well as the front. Problem solved.

Look what I've started. Jesus Christ.

raceblades are crap

Trains are crapperer

^^^ That, as I was gonna say.

The only time I´ve seen similar dropouts was in some low end spanish BMX bikes.

Calling that bmx is blasphemy

Trains are crapperer

have you tried cycling? It's fucking awful

Only pricks cycle.

These two are perfect.

But all this talk of eccentric hubs, conversions and mudguards can go get lost in some other part of the forum.

Discussions tend to take place spontaneously, and will and ebb and flow, then go. You don't need to worry your pretty little head about it.

Tired and grumpy. Ignore me.

Reader's wife: nascent winter bike build with an old Charge Plug frame
