    Definitely the most creative build of Cheap Bike Build off 2024, a true rat bike 👏👏👏

    Sweet build! All of the rust on my bikes is unintentional, but I've really been wanting to do something like this to a frame for a while now.

      I want to do another raw steel ratty build, but based on a lugged frame…just got to find a suitable candidate that is already thrashed.

    Love the patina of the bare steel frame. Personally, I think the aluminum bars are a nice contrast.

    • @bike2fika

      They are very good, but I need them for the upcoming build and a bit more rise would not hurt. The previous iteration had motobars with 120 mm rise, will probably go back to that setup.

    Just in case you were interested, you could put a 7 speed SRAM '1:1 actuation' shifter on and it'd work just fine as the ratios are very close. I ran an 11 speed mech with an 8 speed cassette and shifter and all was well.

    • @bike2fika

      Cool, I love such shifter hacks...just very uncommon to see SRAM shifters on the old bikes I pick up.

    Hi. Aluminium hanlebar never will be comfortable! You put wide tires on the narrow rims - this will cause instability in corners and "kill" the benefits of a wide tire.
    Sorry for being so frank, but you focus on the hangers on the basket and ignore the essence of the correct construction of the bike, making a lot of mistakes, using solutions that don't make sense at all. Best regards and I wish you perseverance.

    • @bike2fika
      @bike2fika  3 дня назад +3

      I shall motobar all bikes. All of them. The essence of a ratbike is the ignorance of correctness and sensible conformity, it is the senseless rusted counterbalance in a world full of Schwalbe Marathon.
