I found one even better last night. When we arrived in Yogyarkarta I asked one of the Becak (front ride pedicab) drivers where to find old bike parts. He told me about the night market for secondhand items. Took a taxi for a grand total of $10 including tip and him waiting there for me for 30 minutes. The shop was awesome with a bunch of old wide Brooks like springer saddles and bunches of unusual headbadges and tail reflectors and ......

The only problem was I couldn't get the old guy to bargain with a even $10 and he was asking over ebay prices. I had four seats picked out and about 15 badges and a big bell and some front fender doo dads and rear fender reflectors. I was will to spend about $150 US (which is a LOT of money here) but he was in the $300+ range the whole time.

Will post photo of his cool stall when I get back to the states.

I picked up two more frames today.

A Becak rickshaw like pedicab and a penny farthing.

$30 total invested in the three bikes that I am bringing home.

I'll be back soon enough. Just think how hard it has been for me to try to get a glimpse of all of the kwazy wratters and still have time to see some cool exotic places. We leave Yogyakarta, Indonesia in the morning on our way to Malacca, Malaysia.

I have a lot of work to do when I get home to catch up with all of you KW's. Great competition building up already. Bon-Voy-Ahh-Gee!

I just thought of something--you are going to be multiple pages into your build off thread before you even have a bike!

It's Missing in action too.

Re: The Clown is Back - MO FATTA MO BETTA

THE CLOWN IS BACK! (after almost 35 hours of continuous travel to get back to my home!)

Sorry guys, but I have way too much catching up to do (in the real world and the rat world) to hunt and gather.

I don't know if I am going to be able to get out to my stash and lay my frames and ideas out in the yard until this weekend. I see that my R&D team (all of the RRBBO7 entries) have been hard at work the past 15 days coming up with ideas for me to "improve" upon.
