While we are asking questions: In "traditional" class is powder coating of small parts allowed if the builder does his own?
 
I have no problem with powder coating the whole lot in Traditional, but it is not my build-off, so better put that to a vote...
As for small parts done at home, pretty sure that would be fine with everyone!

If modding the appearance of your frame using welding/grinding etc, (aside from shortening the top of the seat post.) I think you probably should be in AG.

Does it really matter what class you are in? Everyone gets to vote on all of them anyway, or would you prefer two separate votes?

Luke.
 
How about we call everything anything goes. If you are doing a traditional build with just paint and accessories then it still falls under ANYTHING goes.

sounds good
i like the idea of no particular category im just making sure im following the rules im a newbie to the buildoff world only 1 other before this.
thanks for the info

Is it odd that the AG guys are the ones who want only one category?
My first build ever was an AG, my second will be a traditional.
But I believe I can detail a bike as well as anyone. o_O
So if you want the traditional bikes in a direct heads up competition...
I'm ok with that.

It doesn't matter to me at all. I think it would make everyone bring their A game tho. An AG build can go of the tracks in a hurry and become gaudy if you don't pay attention to the flow of the design and just start throwing to much cool and shiny at it. Some of the coolest rides I've ever seen have been the super clean, super detailed sleepers. Kinda like the old story of the young bull and the wise old bull on the top of the hill.....
