building an ugly bike
« on: October 25, 2016, 10:33 PM »
has anyone intentionally built an ugly bike? i dont mean some of the crackers you see on ebay, built using everything from bankrupt bike parts. i mean using some decent parts but trying to make it look like a pile of crap. i'm in the process of doing one right now but still got a lot of work to do on the frame then paint it. still got to get some parts for it but once i've done the work on the frame i'm gonna start posting some pics. if anyone has some photos of ugly bikes for then post them up here for some inspiration.
