Just to raise awareness really, let’s see your hack/rat/shitter bikes for pub/town etc. Hopefully inspire/convince a few to think about not risking their expensive ride.

The cheapest/rattiest the better I guess!

Both sold now, but previous ‘popping into town’ bikes…

My old GT Timberline

That chrome BMX is nice. I had a Hoffman Flash that looked similar to that, slam bars, redneck stem etc.

The trusty Chucker:

Basically a home for all the random bits I’ve bought for other bikes and didn’t like.

e*thirteen & Monster Energy stickers worth a few mph

‘Town’ is either 8 miles, 12 miles or 17 miles… all involving epic hills… I don’t have a bike for this… i don’t really do pubs or socialising either hahaha.

weeksy – fair enough 😀

If the pub bike wasn’t hanging up in my parent’s shed right now and I could get a photo of it, I sincerely believe I’d win this thread by some margin.

I’ve built many bikes over the years, but I’ve never been more proud of a job well done and a bike more fit-for-purpose than I was with the pub bike. Good god it’s hideous.

Good god it’s hideous.

Gotta see it now 😀

Now with On One steel forks and less gears (through necessity not upgrade).

Having owned it for 12 years, I often wonder whether I would actually be just a little sad if it got stolen…

Mine is probably a bit too nice. Hammerite ftw.

Singlespeed, security skewers and seat clamp and will lock it up anywhere, but still end up worrying about her…

remains unstolen.

Not strictly a pub bike but I think it fits the bill.

My road bike…

Cost me £20 a month or two ago.

Here’s mine, still worry though.
