Gonna build a commuter/general hack bike up from existing parts and cheap parts to be aquired in the classifieds, it will look shite but no doubt be 'fit for purpose'

Let's see yours....

This was the horribe monstrosity which I did thousands of miles on before buying a Langster really cheap

Flogged it on eGay for close on £200, even though I said very clearly that it had been crashed heavily, and had a kinked down-tube to prove it 🙂

Cheers, Rich

Dont have a picture of my old commuter but it was really "one of a kind"

Alu mtb frame painted badly with orange paint (with a brush so it was very uneven), which was very chipped down to the original aluminium and blue paint finish (think it was an old Trek)
On-One white forks
Singlespeed with chain tensioner (small and mid chainrings removed and as spacers I used spacers from my cleats with 2 holes instead of 1. All left at odd angles)
Mary Bars
Pedros dice grips
Avid single digit levers and deore V's
Silver front wheel, black rear
bottle mount bolts missing
1" tyres
Seatpost pretty much glued together

Was a bit "fakenger", but no-one tried to nick it, it was comfy, light and did a lot of miles

Sold on Ebay to a bloke in Canary Wharf so may still be going
