as much as I like the merlin roots & even better the merlin newsboy, they're far from ultimate pub bike.
ultimate pub bike is highly disposable, the type you can ride to kingston upon thames, throw in a bush outside the pub, after the pub ride it down a flight of steps (while drunk), "ghost ride" it into a park bench at speed, destroy it & leave it in a skip

...oh I forgot about the taking it on a bus while your mates wearing a traffic cone on his head & the bus conductor doesnt even bat an eyelid... :lol:

That's lucky - We tried to get on a night bus, carrying my mad slopey framed time trial bike. After being in the pub all afternoon.

... I TRIED explaining to the driver that although it looked like a bike it was, in fact, an industrial design project.

It was very useful on the long "walk" home, as we couldn't actually manage the "walking" bit. We used it as a zimmer frame while we staggered alongside it, applying the brakes to stop us falling into hedges etc.

Even better than a pub bike is a pub horse. Get on; Horse ambles home; Job done.
