We've had a gang of threads featuring beautiful new looking rides; this one is for the beat down dirty bikes out there. I want dirt, dents, bald tires, tape, whatever you got that makes your bike yours. no shine allowed.

I just started getting into flatland stuff about 3 days ago and suck so far, I blame my sh*tty bike and lack of practice.

The "rust" look is good^^^!

I let my Strowler rust a bit, I thought it was awesome.

Well..Being completely raw, the quamen really hasnt rusted excpt on the underside from riding on previously salted/sandy roads covered in drizzle. Just recently heard about a cypher going down on the bottom of the seatpost..So i guess it will be some added insurance to me that i didnt further weaken my frame by letting it rust through a hairline or something. Looks cool tho :)

old bike of mine with half grips left. i put on electrical tape for something to grab onto, but in the heat and humidity it mixed with my palm sweat turning the whole 2pc bar into a blob of sticky goo that gets everywhere. the grips stuck to my palms more than they do to the bars


one side's also severly bent


usual seat noses. the rust on the seatpost got it seized to the frame. the seat's also seized to the seatpost, making them into a single entity. the seatclamp's redundant.

ive had plenty of terrible bikes, but the one ive built to start riding flat has only left the garage about 8 times so it still looks alright. pretty sure the backend is twisted (shouldnt have bought a street frame off anyone in the north east of england), but itll do until i learn enough to justify getting a better one, or decide to stick to grinding and sell the bits that are worth something

I build this bike out of spare parts and i got the frame, bars, and fork for cheap. the total build price was a little over 300 bux so i consider it a "rat" bike. It is shiny since i have a friend who works at a paint and body shop and he got it painted for free. it did turn out to be a nice bike tho. I used an old set of wheels and i also got a lot of parts from the ff giveaway so this was a budget build for sure

thanks goes to JOHNU773 for the strowler frame mike-e for the swiss miss bars and i cant remember who sold me the forks but i want to say jellyroll.
