I saw the most bizarre bike last night whilst walking the dawg....

It was an old racing frame with cutdown flat bars (very cutdown!) - very messenger stylee.

However, the guy looked like he had no fitness level whatsoever and was wearing skinny jeans, courie bag and a black tee shirt - no lid aha, Fakenger.....

But, the bike had a double chainset and a rear derailleur + cassette.....one front brake and the flatbar shifters and grips...not fixed, not ss....

I make it an oddenger.

Any one else got a better name?

    I saw a messenger this morning who was the spitting image of Timmy Mallet, flowery little cap, big plastic sun glasses, long stripey socks, I thought he looked like a c0ck

    I must be getting old :?

    Think I saw him in Old Market yeasterday. I always cast an eye over bikes as I pass them or as they go past me and the above rings a bell. Was the frame in the yellow end of the colour spectrum?
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    I didn't mean junk! The anti-offensive word thing changed it.
