I wouldn't do it either I was just checking. I haven't even started yet :shock:

I started.... then got sidetracked!

Ill get back on it soon.

Not gonna give away everything, but mine will feature two wheels, and one of them will skid!

I hope!!! :|

No official rules have been set, but I personally think it would be in bad taste. But if someone else thinks that is how it needs to go then game on.

I see what you did there.... good game sir :D

In progress pic of the Freakbike Trophy...

001-10.jpg


Its about 12-14" long, built out of solid steel rod. Still have to build the forks, handlebars, seat and crank.

about the finish... Should I...
1. leave it raw, but clearcoat it?
2. paint it up?
3. do a rust patina using salt water, then clearcoat?

I have some sets of 26" wheels, Moon bars, pedals, a nice looking Huffy Santa Fe dark purple w/flake $65 ready to ride. I have a black spaceliner w/tank-lights missing and rack w/ red light on top $100 obo.

You can email me at [email protected] to find out more or to put in any request, I'll be loading Sat. morning and leaving in the after noon, The wife and I are taking the scenic route and will be in wichita area Saturday night.

LMK,
Don

I think we have enough door prizes. Things always pop up during the fest that we need help with though. Thanks.

Cool trophy Cameron. The only thing my skid trophy has going for it is that it's also a Bobble Head.

Forgot we needed a trophy for the Save the baby competition so I just put this together.
