2 typical dutch everyday throwaround bikes. sorry, people like to park them chainside to wall apparently. maybe because we ride on the right side of the road over here

Surly winter bike with home made rack;

i like how it looks prepared for anything!

how do you ride that in those conditions and not end up with at least 3 frozen bottles after 1 hour? it shouts out for thermoses :)

+1 for the owner of the ratty Gios :-) I left a note on the saddle asking if he would sell it to me to restore, but he e-mailed me and said as beat up as it is, he still loves the bike and wants to keep it.

rust king gios was there again today, some details now

btw what's up with the image uploader,

• uploaded 3 and shows in manage attachments, but only shows 2 in preview post?
  
• in actual post I saw 3 and now 2?
  
• and 3 again...
  
• and 2 again...
  
• nevermind
  

makes me wanna show you this for some reason

Rat bikes to me are raw, 'who gives a shit how it looks'-bikes, I love them. The GIOS was perfect to post in the thread.

I also like saving classy Italian bikes like that from an early grave, especially if the owner couldn't care less if he was riding on a Gios or just a run of the mill Batavus or Gazelle.

I'm torn...

Jezus effin' Christ.. Peter v, Dutch people don't have a clue..;) Hope you left him/her a note on the saddle that you wanted to buy it and bring it back to it's righteous state..

poor thing is corroded like nothing I've ever seen before, looks like it's never been cleaned either...

will have a look later today if it's still there or there again, at work in the bike parking, good idea to put a note on the saddle

See this guy's Flickr for all kind of Awesome. From tall bikes to cargo bikes, not forgetting horse bikes and Lo-Tall-pro tandems.
