Nice to be back, and having the passion to build again. With so much going on in my life a rolled off into a ditch somewhere.
So I have picked myself up, and rolling again on a easy path...
Butterball Bandit is a build I wanted to do a few years ago. I still have that frame, and maybe I will still build it and finish that project off.
But now we are onto whole set of different bones as a base, and we are making Butterball 2.0.
3 reasons I have called it Butterball. First was the melting decal on the original frame,
2nd was the fatso/chubby look.
And 3rd was the 2nd part of the build, that will be exposed later down the ride...
With my new work, and living arrangements, comes more $, and more time.
So that has enabled me to purchase all new parts
.
2.0 will be my main rider/daily and also for work, ( I do cycle tours) .
So it has to be comfy and meet all my needs. I have 2 ideas, one a single saddle, for my work and 2 a bench seat for comfy riding/long distance camping etc. I will be able to swap the design of the bike/style with only 4 bolts ,if I decide to go with a 2in1 look. But I am also building another bike for comfort, so 2.0 could be just for hauling and speed. And also purchasing another bike from this same company as the frame(which went bust),and not to mention repurposing the 67 racer (my first ever bike build).
The FRAME. Spring is here and first day of the build-off.
A simple black matte UDX frame. BMX style.

Glad to see you getting reinspired as well. Funny, I am retaining a skull decal on my headtube as well (sorry, don't have a pic right off). Excited to see how you build this up!
. Still trying to figure this quote thingy out.
