Ok, take 2! I realised today that I've had this thing lying around the backyard for a year now. It is a 1970 something CCM tandem bike that I wanted to turn into a truck bike kinda thing until I realised that a trailer was much more practical. So, as an ex-firefighter, I think that a Fire Truck themed bike would be appropriate. The frame was already cut to remove the second seating position over a year ago, so I hope this is not an issue for it to qualify. I plan on putting as many functionnal stuff on it as I can. Maybe even a working water pump, albeit a small one. Yes it's going to be red. Red is the ONLY color for real firetrucks. :mrgreen: I just hope I can make the deadline :|

Pulling the plug!

After thinking it over for a week, I made my mind and I'm pulling the plug on this project. I've had the feeling of going against the flow since the beginning and when I do that, it comes out real crappy. Besides, even finished I would not have ridden this thing, it would have gathered vegetation in the backyard after the final photo shoot. I understand that the build off bike must be ridden and that would have been against the rule and would bring bad karma. So I'm putting this frame back in the rafters and using the parts for other projects. My Black frak Chopper is coming along real nice, I'm going to ride the tires off of it and it suddenly qualifies for the Canadian Chopper Build-Off on choppernet.

Even if I don't have a snowball's chance to win there, I can at least claim that it was in a build off. :D

So ratrod, if you could kindly delete this thread when it is convenient for you, i would appreciate it. As for the rest of you, amazing bikes by all, I will enjoy the rest of this build off from the sidelines.
