Here's its more glamorous sibling....
Univega RTB.JPG
Outclassed in sporting terms by my pure cross bikes,the design brief was to build a fun working bike that wasn't too nice to ride. Based around a race frame, the chainstays are too short for panniers but a trailer takes care of the big stuff.

Here's my MTB based crosser-similar in principle and quality to my Univega RTB, only modified for winter and off-road fun. Heavily disguised under acres of inner tube and with 11-19 straight through block it makes for a surprisingly nimble and exciting ride through both town and trail. Better still, the entire build only cost £120!

Here's some courtesy of TR who donated them to start off our Cool and interesting bikes gallery… which I keep forgetting to start although I have now. You can see a load more here http://road.cc/category/image-galleries/bikes/cool-and-interesting-bikes and if you see any on your travels send us in a pic and we will add them to the gallery. We also want to start a Reader's bikes gallery so stick 'em on here and that'll be a start.
Thanks for the nudge matrs1
