As someone whose gateway into the Rat Rod Bikes scene was a 1950 Schwinn DX, I look forward to seeing you breathe new life into that old Schwinn. The patina on that bike is right!

Given the curviness of the frame, I feel like either the Evans Colson or the Beehive springer would be best for this bike. That black springer fork is undeniably cool, but it has more of a "1920s straight-tubed board track racer" vibe to me.

I love me a good trike! Looking forward to seeing how you revive that Elliot! It's awesome to see some bikes and trikes I don't find here in the U.S.

Can't wait to see how you convert that Evans Colson from Atompunk to Cyberpunk!

Can't say I know much about hip-hop and Wu-Tang, but I'm looking forward to seeing how you incorporate it into that Schwinn.

Captain Awesome's gonna rub some awesome on a bike! Can't wait to see this!

Oh man, I love those Huffy Rail bikes! Always wanted one in green, purple or blue. Looking forward to seeing how you build up this one!

Sounds like a plan! Those wheels and tires are going to look great on there!

Looking forward to seeing how the pieces go back together!

Can't wait to see how you build that Elgin!

This, 100%! That's how it feels to finally have my childhood dream bike!

Rode my OCC Stingray XL around the neighborhood for a few laps this evening before it got dark and the weather got ugly. Covered the bare seat pan with a bunch of socks, mop heads and a tank top. Man I love riding this thing! Can't wait to ride it further once I get the brakes fixed!

Thanks. I would love to join in, but now is just not the time. I'll still be working on my bikes, I just won't be building one for the main Build Off.

After looking over my collection of bikes and thinking it over, I've decided not to enter the Build Off this year, at least until further notice. I have plenty of bikes I could build, but... 1. I don't have a plan for most of them. 2. I'm not ready to work on the bikes I do have a plan for. 3...

Thank you! I just wish we had swap meets like this in or near Tulsa, Oklahoma. If I want to hit a good bicycle swap meet, I have to drive roughly 3 hours away from home, and out-of-state.
