That bike is prepared for the zombie apocalypse...

build it up with a chain and some pedals?

That just doesn't look like fun...

I vote 26 to 18.

Phwoar! I have never seen a bike fully loaded with bags look as nice as that...

Does it float?

Because it looks decent now!!

But I suppose if you are security concious...

Really?

Standard double butted DT Swiss or Alipna seem to be quite sufficient in my experience.

It's got a lovely well considered colour scheme and everything!!!

Just because you built it yourself doesn't make it a frankenbike...

It is a nice bike though.

If you do manage to make that disk cog work can you get back to us with a review? I was looking into them a while back, am bearing it in mind for my next wheel build!

You might be able to pick up a generic front wheel off of ebay for cheap aswell.

You could get a front MTB wheel with a disk brake... Then you can bolt a cog instead of a disk...

Its porn for frankenbike lovers...
There's a niche for everyone these days...

It is rubbish, I'll give you that. But it is a beater...
If this is gonna be the alternative porn thread are we gonna need some pictures of naked people on rusty bikes?

genius

Nice, I like the BMX bars made into the front basket, good Idea I might see if I can Make something like that out of some old BMX bars I have lying around. Does anyone know who makes these or are they a D.I.Y. Job?

^ That's lovely!

nice...

Brakeless with no foot retention?!

The apostrophe in the thread title is superfluous.

It's not superfluous it's just plain wrong.

My falcon says that it's made with 18-23 tubing (mentions something about carbon...) - Late 80's. Cannae' find any info on this type of tubing on the net.

Any more info from you guys?

I think 18-23 wad tubing made by raleigh or at least used on a lot of their bikes.

From what I hear it's basically the equivalent to carbolite, better than gas pipe, and a way for the manufacturer to call their tubing something more exotic sounding than 'Hi-Tensile steel'. But not really up to reynolds standards.

Entry level but OK. Not shit, not good.
