This is a place to post stuff that need to be seen. If you see something, post something! I'd say it's cool to grab a pic from a build thread and say yer thing. Keep the threads focused on the builds n stuff

Example. Did everyone see the frame furyus is using? Best starting point of the Build Off?

How much Psychographic got done on day one!

This guy can work, and he ain't skimping on details either. His cardboard mock up seat already has tuck and roll!

When are you going to have some fun with us and start your build ?

 

[MattiThundrrr]

You must not have been around for the Unofficial March Build Off. I tried. And failed. Miserably. Deadlines and me don't get along. Maybe someday if everything aligns, I'll try again

But this ones four months long and it has to be warmer there by now ?
C'mon man we promise to keep you motivated .

I came close, but I put the bottom of the downtube together the following morning.

The only way this went together so fast, I had just about every piece figured out ahead of time. Cutting to fit and welding goes fast when your plan works. Not one piece gave me any trouble while putting this frame together. I think it was a once in a lifetime thing for the way this went together.

Lucky you didn't have to do the 2 step shuffle . One step forward then 2 steps back .

I had enough of that on the last build! Hopefully this one will be easier, but I'm sure it's coming.

Warmer now, but we're getting an Arctic clipper later in the month. There will be more snow.

Here's some encouraging words I remember from growing up .
There's more then one way to skin a cat .
When you get lemons make lemon aid .
Turn the other cheek .
Try , Try again .
If you can't beat um join um .
Don't cry over spilled milk .
You never know what you get in a box of chocolates ?

Anyone have any more to add ?

That's why I landed here, of all places on the interwebsz.

there's still a lot of drinks that I ain't drunk
And lots of pretty thoughts that I ain't thunk
And lord there's still so many lonely girls
In this best of all possible worlds.
