I build stuff.
In my attempt at a trilogy I join my 3rd RatRodBikes.com Build-Off with a 1936 Roadmaster frame given to me by last year's 2nd place winner Terry66. (Thanks Terry, you're the man!)
In Build-Off #6 I built a 1976 Murray Skybolt
In Build-Off #7 I built a 1956 J.C. Higgins German made men's tank bike
Since I dropped 20 years from my first Build-Off to my second I thought it only fitting to drop 20 more years. I can't continue this route! :lol:
I've built cruisers the past 2 years and thought I would build a klunker this year, which is cool since a few more are building klunkers and we will be having an informal klunker sub-build-off.
My actual inspiration for building a klunker is an 80s Lee Chi left side brake lever, I shall have photos of that at a later date with my other parts.
Here is my frame, photo taken 4/30/13.
Fun Facts!
-My first build-off bike was faux patina.
-My second build-off bike was real patina.
-This time I am killing the patina for a shiny paint job.
-My first build-off bike was made only a few months before my birthday in '76.
-This frame was made 40 years before my birthday.
-This is the oldest frame I have ever built.
-I spent less than $100 on my first build-off.
-I spent less than $50 on my second.
-I've already spent in between those two on this one.
-Nobody knows what those brackets are for that someone welded to the frame, but they are going away.
