When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me.

Ha Ha...sorry, you just have to receive all of the "can I do this?" emails for the past 4 years to understand my response.

My response was actually supposed to be humorous. :wink:

And since it's anything goes....nobody said that you have to build a frame from scratch or weld anything for that matter.

Just build cool bikes! :D

Awesome, I've always wanted to build a frame from PVC pipe, what better time than now :D Will it work, or will I end up eating blacktop? I guess we'll find out :lol:
Being that the build off is over Dec. 7th, I think a Pearl Harbor memorial bike would be cool. If you're up to the challenge, I'd love to see it happen.

I thought about that, but copper piping gets pricey for 3/4" and bigger diameters. It sure would be neat though, keep it bare copper and let it patina. 8)

I'm putting together some really sick ideas... if I can mock something up after the tour this weekend, I'll post it up as a worklog. I couldn't finish it in a month, but two months I might be able to do.

It will be off the hook, I promise!

I did eat the worm once but the only thing i saw was my stomach lining :D
