It's amazing what some people can make for a few pennies with a pile of metal and some inspiration. I love the lines of it, the jack-shaft treatment, nice job Sir.

I bet the guy on the back feels like he's been up there for eternity! That'll teach him to sell his soul.

Jeez, that site could use a spam filter.

Nice job! A chain bike without a chain, how ironic.

Jeez Rickster. What a crappy year you're having. I sincerely hope your mum feels better real soon and that you can find the strength to cope with this bad news. You're in my thoughts mate.

Excellent! If that aint a rat I don't know what is. Not sure I'd want to ride it though!

It runs on skate wheels and the build quality is outstanding, it looks absolutely sound to me. Very impressive. It looks great as it is but I'd love to see it with hubless front and hub-centre steering, that would be out of this world.

Bike shop I used to work in in London had an outside toilet, the kind with a gap at the top and bottom of the door, the manager used to grab a magazine and sit in there for ages so one day one of the mechanics waited for him to 'get comfortable' got a 26" tube, attached it to a compressor, threw...

Is this a whole new category? Lowratter!

Wicked looking! But it really needs a fairing!

If you have a heart full of napalm I suggest you visit a doctor.

(1) Sharp bit... check (2) Low revs ( as slow as you can go!)... check (3) High pressure... Check. My guess is you are spinning it too fast and burning your bit. Most of the steels that we are likely to encounter have a high carbon content so require little or no lube (according to my brother...

Is it a new niche? A Low Ratter?

Wow, hard as nails! Does it start fights with other bikes?

I'm a generation older than you Rickster and lost both of my parents three years ago. No matter what age you are situations like the one you are going through now are the most challenging that any of us ever have to cope with, but the pain that you are feeling in your heart is in direct...

Re: ready for paint.take a look and tell me what you think poll Wow. Bikes really do grow on trees over there! Heavy on the green with Almond highlights I say.

Hey fellow countryman. There are more than two of us btw but most are infrequent visitors. One fellow from Scilly, don't know if that counts as Engerland!! I drive a Corrado which is becoming a rat all by itself, every time I get in it some essential component falls off.

Me too. Clearly the olde skoole slack head-tube angle doesn't match the modern fork with short off-set which gives too much castor and will result in excess wheel 'drop-off', super heavy steering and an unwillingness to head uphill. Be OK if where you lived was all down hill though....

What's going on? One of my favourite sites, it seems totally inactive.

I can't believe how much those old Raleighs are fetching over there guys! You can still pick them up for a next to nothing over here. Amazing.
