Stumbled across this site searching for ideas on building a rat bike. I have a couple of low-value bikes I want to do something with because I spend too much (more than it's value) on building my winter ride. Yet somehow, that cheapest bike in my (rideable) fleet has wound up to be my favorite. So now I want to (some would say) waste more money on ever lesser value bikes I have sitting.... One is a pretty old CCM (cotter pin cranks) that likely started out life as a 3-speed, the other an aluminum frame abortion that more then likely was sold through Wal Mart. But it's super light, so.... Two ends of the spectrum?
Anyway, depending on your definition of "rat", this is my "rat bike" winter ride I threw together for this year....
