New guy from the U.K

[jcoles92]

evening all, just thought i'd pop out and say hello!
been in the habit of messing with bikes for a while now, and am starting to really enjoy older rat bikes, there are so many bikes on here that i like the look of, but, alas! shipping is too .... much here!
anyway, hope to speak with you all soon

 

[scrumblero]

no need to ship! buy something local and rat it out! :mrgreen:


OH! and WELCOME!!

 

[deven_science]

As far as old bikes go, you guys have the rod brake bikes, which are very cool. When I was in London this summer, I almost bought one from a guy at the Camden Market to ship home. I would love to rat one of those!

 

[jcoles92]

the rod brakes are fun, i still don't trust them though :lol:
picking up some things at christmas, so i'll get to showing then :wink:

Greetings from Leicestershire!!!

Good to see more and more from the UK adding to the scene, but we're still far flung!!! Shame!!!

I'm about to 'Ratrod' an old Marin mountain bike I've had for ages!! It's got great road gearing so looking forward to raised eyebrows from the local 'roadies'!!!
