Ah yes. Looks like so much fun! Little big for my tastes these days though, best to let the youngins do these things nowadays! Sent from my SM-G550T1 using Tapatalk

Not the best shots, but I did remember to snap a couple yesterday...

May eventually do a full fairing, maybe for next year, for now I will be competing in its completed build off form. I am a really skinny guy, can get myself tucked pretty well. I have a replica leather air force bomber helmet, need to find the rest of my outfit somewhere, thinking thrift stores...

I had considered waiting a few to post mine as finished, but wasnt too concerned if I finished last or not :) cool wrench, use it well! Sent from my SM-G550T1 using Tapatalk

This thing is so much fun to ride! I went across the street and found a slightly steeper hill to test ride on. Almost hit 23mph in only a city blocks length! Want to take it to the hills!

Thats what I was thinking, will be hopping on the computer in a minute, with a big cup of coffee... lots to consider before voting, though I do have my favorites ;) Sent from my SM-G550T1 using Tapatalk

I feel dumb, but where is the voting taking place? Do I need to view the thread on my computer as opposed to tapatalk on my phone? First build off, first time voting, in a RRB contest anyways ;) and I have no idea what I am doing! Sent from my SM-G550T1 using Tapatalk

Definitely build one, if you have hills in your area! Lots of fun, and the competition is interesting, only biking race I know of that winning isnt dependent on how strong your legs or lungs are!

Thanks for all the support! I wasnt sure I would finish before the deadline, had a meeting to go to last night while paint was drying, literally installed them while still slightly tacky and setup the lighting and took photos during the last hour of the countdown. Rommates had gone to bed...

I set out with a goal to build a bicycle to compete in the Crested Butte Chainless World Championships, held in CB during the fat tire bike week every year. Last year I did fairly well on an old JC Higgins Flightliner I ratted out and wanted to build a ride specifically for the event. No cranks...

Finished! Set up some lights outside to do an impromptu photo shoot. Wish I had finished earlier for some daylight, or even sunset golden hour shots, but this will have to do... Saving my best shot for the final finished thread

Waiting for paint to dry is like, waiting for paint to dry...

Ran to the hardware store earlier and picked up some black duct tape. Got side panels installed and logo placed, I'm sponsored!! By myself... also threw a coat of paint on the weights to match the frame, gloss black. Wanted to go minty with the color but do not have a perfect match on hand.

Well, it didnt snow, so I may be able to toss some paint on the weights. Attach body panels, and toss on my logos. Then it might be what I can consider finished...

I also want to throw a little paint on the rusty weights, but it was supposed to snow last night into today... not sure I will be able to do that today! Sent from my SM-G550T1 using Tapatalk

Making panels for the sides of the frame, want to give the bike more of a "body" so it doesnt just look like small frame tubes holing all these parts together. Plus, it gives me more space for logos, in fact, I think I am going to use our business logo on each side as my GF just made a couple...

Also swapped out the bar for a narrower one. Should help with getting tucked.

So I played around with the weights a little. I now have 40lbs mounted! The bar I have that normally holds them is a little long and too large in diameter to fit the bottom bracket shell, reason for the steel axle instead. Changing them out should prove fairly easy, and allow me to go from 20lbs...

Love the look with the new bars! Sent from my SM-G550T1 using Tapatalk
