What are the odds :) I was actually thinking of a mullet bike.

Looking at pigeons for inspiration. I even asked BING Chat to create me a bicycle inspired by a pigeon and it wasn’t far off from what I was thinking color wise. I’ll have some help in the paint dept. my sister gifted me her cricut machine. That machine can make it all.

Thanks everyone for the boost. Feels different building a bike for the build off then to build one with no audience. I thought the actual meaning of the word would give it some deeper meaning, it didn’t. It was just funny! Giving it that name did help me thinking of a paint theme, more on that...

I’d like to join my first ever build off! Got myself a cheap 90’s GT Palomar, nothing really special or stand out about it. No special 90’s GT paint job, grip shifts and just plain boring. What’s a Palomar? This is how i bought it and the following pic is how it currently is after the tear...

Small birthday purchase for myself. Early 90’s GT Palomar. Pretty complete, not sure if I’ll keep it stock or build a nice urban bomber out if it. Trying out a threadless stem and wider bars.

Made quick work of the Nishiki and gave it some more 90’s appeal. Had a Miami Vice vibe so I stuck with that. Tuned it from a 3x6 to a 1x7 drivetrain, swapped from to v brakes to canti’s, Selle Italia saddle, SR slingshot stem with enduro bars, pink vinyl on the chainstay as a protector, Sakae...

A recent build, 95ish Cannondale with 700c wheels. A gravel/commuter/bomber build. I highly enjoy this bike. So different from all my other stuff. Next up is today’s purchase of a late 80’s early 90’s Nishiki with a sweet colors. Tad small for me but great build for my wife. Great thing is...

Mongoose ATB’s came stock with Araya pro class wheelsets. Light strong 7X araya’s with 🕳️ like this. And they came on both men’s and women’s bikes.

Lucky. Perfect parts bike! Too bad it didn’t come with the pro class wheelset.

Yes sir 700 wheels. My very first one! My original idea was a gravel bike with drop bars. Moved away from that idea due to what I had on hand was more a flat bar build. I still want to build a gravel bike with dropbars. I’m looking out for a vintage GT with 700 size wheels.

Took this 95ish Cannondale Hybrid and made it into an urban bomber. It’s fun quick bike. Only thing I reused was the frame and fork, everything else was swapped out.

In case you’re interested the cranks are Redline Flights with a Porkchop chainring.

Here’s one I built a few years ago and regrettably parted out and sold the frame.

Worksman INB’s are good looking bullet proof bicycles. If you leave it as is or build a BMX cruiser/klunker out of it I think you’ll be happy the way it turns out.

My campground/beer cruiser. I’m working on some PVC attachments for fishing rods for the rear of the kids seat.

Been riding my 29” Redline Monocog to the gym. Unfortunately I prefer that this bike get stolen and not the others in my flock.

Nice!

My favorite cruiser frame! I had a couple ‘98’s not so long ago. I dig it!
