I must say, I don't think that every outdated am ht qualifies as a rat bike.

So brown and old aren't prerequisites then.

I agree an old stinker isn't a ratbike

Most rat bikes will be older frames, but purpose built with solid used components. All the better if they have a raw/ rust/ grunge aesthetic.

The main thing for me is 'homemade attitude'. So stock bikes struggle to fit in for me, it has to be a bike with a radical attitude to it using parts that look or are suited for something else but somehow work. Not easy to define is it

New rule: If the paint looks clean and unused, it's not a rat bike.
