I love this space for ratty backdrops. And I always get people that come over from the 2 or 3 bars across that face it.

One of the guys from the local Wolfpack Bike Club came over and took these pics of me with SteamRoller

Some of you may remember me using the JINX bar as a backdrop for a couple of years. Sadly they have left the building.

Dude! That bikes on the edge of Class 2 Build-off turf :grin:

Nice work, SICK!

Thanks man. Everything bolt on. No Class 2 work on this one. I'll always build in the traditional class. It's the cool place to be. :D

It's the most competitive so there you go. I like to cheat and make stuff be whatever I want. That has so much person who has no idea what it is appeal they are going to think its a custom frame.

Really for me it is more the history of the RRB Build Off. There didn't used to be a Class 2, so it is sorta what I grew up on here and what got me hooked on RRB to start with.
 
Some of the Class 2 stuff is wicked, but you really need access to welding and tube bending equipment to do it right.

The Top Five Spots in this Class 1 build-off!? I'll be flip'n coins over really :blackeye:
 
I'm not knocking Class 2 by any means. I love the stuff that gets done there tremendously.

Geez, crazy times. The what is "built not bought war veterans". I don't miss those threads. I still say 99% of the people who see you riding that are going to think it is a one of one frame. The one I had was really big compared to my other cruisers. I kind of wish i had kept it.
 
I like how the green of the grass in those park shots gives the coppertone a deeper color. But the door to the Jinx is pretty hard to beat for 'cool factor'.
Your bike builds always have a cohesiveness to them. Everything works together, and all the parts look like they belong. The paint on this one really ties it all up in a bow! Your 10th attempt might be the best one of all! Stellar work brother! :41:
 
Back on the streets with SteamRoller today.

I want to see some shots of you riding that beauty but I know how hard those are to get if you are out by yourself .
Went for a spin downtown and in the park and was scared to ask people if they would take a shot with my camera because of the .... covid .
Your bike looks awesome well done
