BUILD OFF #7 DISCUSSION

[kingfish254]

I'm ready to vote on something. Let's hope there is a little mayhem like last year; it makes things interesting!*





*Just kidding, no mayhem would be better.

NO MAYHEM and NO DRAMA. Dallas is back TV so J.R. has all that handled.

Here's a couple I voted for last year:





I don't remember what the third one was. Looking over all of them again, I'm thinking I'd probably vote differently every time I look through them. But really, that pink 20" bike is so cute, how can you not vote for it?

The SaraKate looks great in person, and the Single Speed Hotrod is what inspired me to use a diamond frame this year!

Of course I still have this big fat fellow sitting around and even take it out for a ride sometimes, its almost like pedaling around on a cloud .

17 - Here are five more of the RRBBO6 finished builds we saw last year. Just some random shots for inspiration

The last bike is the Rodeo Bike and you really have to see the video to appreciate those wheels.
I love watching the strangers at the fair riide it around. Looks like he also did one with a full suspension frame.

Hey Steve, these need to go on your YouTube channel.

Well last year about 200 bikes entered and about 100 finished.

Right now we have almost 1.5 pages of Builds that are unresponsive.

Come on slackers!!!!!! Show us what you've been up to!

Need more freaky ***** is what we need then

I am putting them out there, but I refuse to double up on them. If someone doesn't reply to one, then they are on their own. I still want to know how their build is going or if it isn't going at all, but I ain't gonna waste good *****.

I was just looking though a lot of those threads that haven't posted in a looooooooooong time, and the bummer is that there are a lot of cool bikes that I was looking forward to see being built.

No, don't double up on *****. That reminds of a Far Side cartoon where there is a guy walking down the sidewalk with two armadillos--one under each arm. He is about to walk by a beggar on the street who is asking all those passing by, "Spare armadillo, spare armadillo?" And the guy with the two armadillos is thinking to himself, "Uh-oh, how am I gonna get by this guy?"

Okay, maybe you had to be there...

We interrupt this program for a Jenny Craig announcement:

Hey, yoothgeye, I'm down 7 pounds.

You may now return to your normally scheduled program.

I think I'm up 7 pounds... you can have it back! Seriously, I've been cutting back on snacking and meal size but working for a church I tend to get lots of free meals at weird times. Also I realized that my frequent headaches were being caused by the diet soft drinks that I drank like water, so I've been diet soft drink free for over a month now and I'm trying to get use to drinking water, but also drinking juices and such which aren't as "slimming" as my diet drinks were and I think my body is confused.

Actually, I have done some reading on the diet soft drinks and those are bad news. It seems the crap they put in them as a sugar substitute makes your brain tell your body that it needs more sugar. It is actually more complicated than that and screws you up in other ways besides (like headaches); anyway, the stuff isn't good. Better to lick the moisture off the bottom of swamp frogs.

Got a lot done and decided today, but the highlight of the day was meeting up with Dr. Tankenstein, his lovely wife, and cool daughter. I road Fugsley down to meet them at the Crystal Beer Parlor and they followed me back to my house to see my stable of bikes including Flex-Liner 7. Rob is a great guy and has a wonderful family. It was a pleasure to spend time with them.

Here is a photo of Rob and I with Flexy. I was sweating up a storm after huffing it back to the house on my 1 speed Fugsley
