Your Hack, Rough and Ready, Used and Abused Bikes!

[stewlewis]

My not yet done up bike, it's not my cheapest but still around £50. It is my roughest and the one I grab to whiz up the shops.

Don't you find though you can't resist doing up your hacks to the point you'd be gutted if they were nicked and they up up as decent bikes.

I guess it's different for commuters who have to publicly lock them up. Then again I'd hate commuting on a nasty hack.

It's about to become a 1994 Proflex 454, part built:

Cheers Rumble. I think his mudguards are proper classy. Your's with the cleaning product ads are something special though.

Maybe time to de-hack it- some decals:

work hack

This old pine mountain was battered & bruised & ready for scrap.
But i cast my magic wand over it and this coppertone beast emerged.
Now I use it as a work hack.
