rat bikes are like rat cars which started off with vw's. basically they should look knackered but work as well as they can. the inspiration for this one was the bikes couriers use in london though, as i work in a city (colchester) and even though i'm 6 foot and 14 stone i'm still invisible to cars! so wanted a bike i didn't care about but had to be reliable.

This is the Saxon my old commuter made almost entirely from free parts from the shop or donations from friends. Ghetto single speed running something like 52x18 or something hideous. The only part I bought was new tires as the originals split. and bent the forks (choppered forward) in just over a month jumping off speed bumps on the way home from the xmas party.
Ads.....where's that first pic taken?
Is that the bridge down by the student halls at the Hythe/ start of the Wivenhoe trail?...... I bet most students have had that view at some point through the old 'cider visor'.
BTW... when they wanted to nominate a new 'millenium' city, Colchester folk rejected the proposal by about 80%!!!...... no point losing 'Britain's oldest recorded town' status for 'Britain's newest city'
