Show Us Your Survivors....
« on: May 21, 2014, 11:59 AM »
Lets see em - in all their battered glory. Mid's got a lot more to do with thrashed bikes than blingy ones (and that's no offence to blingy bikes as they too can look lovely, and there's been some flourescent belters of recent  :daumenhoch:)

So I wanna see your cracked, dented, scratched and generally fooked rides you've got kicking about. Don't have to be all in original from back in the day, can be made up of bits and bobs you've got  :daumenhoch:

Will start the ball rolling with one of mine - my General that I built up over a few months and rode back in '97/'98:

Here's another - Sandy Carsons old '94 Standard Lengthy frame from Style Cats, three coats of paint, no coaster tab from factory and cracked at the head tube. Needs building up in time for MK I reckon (and thaks to Sen  :daumenhoch: ):
