Just to raise awareness really, let's see your hack/rat/shitter bikes for pub/town etc. Hopefully inspire/convince a few to think about not risking their expensive ride.

The cheapest/rattiest the better I guess!

That chrome BMX is nice. I had a Hoffman Flash that looked similar to that, slam bars, redneck stem etc.

If the pub bike wasn't hanging up in my parent's shed right now and I could get a photo of it, I sincerely believe I'd win this thread by some margin.

I've built many bikes over the years, but I've never been more proud of a job well done and a bike more fit-for-purpose than I was with the pub bike. Good god it's hideous.

Now with On One steel forks and less gears (through necessity not upgrade).

Having owned it for 12 years, I often wonder whether I would actually be just a little sad if it got stolen...

Mine is probably a bit too nice. Hammerite ftw.

Singlespeed, security skewers and seat clamp and will lock it up anywhere, but still end up worrying about her...

Not strictly a pub bike but I think it fits the bill.
