I have a woman’s Murray I’ve had for years, but really don’t think I can do 2 builds at once.

Trying to do better than 3 outta 3 muscle bike, I'm making a "4 outta 3" bike, this girl bike doesn't exactly make the step through requirements, but Krayzee Duck meet wheel, seat, and bar criterias
I'm getting a head start, she's already been talking to me about where she wants to go

I’ll be a spectator this go round. Taking a building break to use my free time to catch up on household projects, workshop cleanup & organiztion, and perhaps tooling upgrades.
Liking the new format of the buildoffs. Keeps something interesting going on all year.

I'm going to do a (hopefully) quick step thru build. I was going to put off my muscle build till next year as I've got a lot going on right now but I think I'm going to have to get into it. I'm pretty exited about this one.

It's doubtful for me. I have another client bike to restore next and it doesn't fit the criteria for this build-off.
I do have a muscle bike that is just a clean and repair project that I'd like to slip in. I also have an X-53 step over that is in need of a clean and service that might possibly be simple enough to enter. The jury is still out at this point though.

Dang it! I already have at least 3 step thrus to choose from. Then this pops up. Somebody tell me I have a problem and that I actually don’t need to buy this.
I’m not sure I can resist.
Add the rear brake, 3 speed Sturmey and you have a step through Racer! Or add the Sturmey AWC and your done.
Only 5 for the MB? Are we losing some luster?
This one makes me want to break out my Cranbrook. But I need my step thru build to be quick-ish and the Cranbrook plans are too extensive. My MBBO entry is going to take some time and I have a lot of other irons in the fire at the moment. This will be a fun build!
Remember when somebody suggested an all Cranbrook buildoff? Might have merit
I'm still hoping that will happen at some point.Remember when somebody suggested an all Cranbrook buildoff? Might have merit
I put the wife's Spaceliner (Good & Plenty) build on pause to try a run at this. She and I have been working out how we are going to get crochet skulls to hold shape as a tank and possibly lights, front and rear. Of course, I have been staring at a three speed hub and the a front hub replacement (remember the cracked OG in the photo way back?) which would be the biggest challenge here.
I suppose I should count the spokes in the hub and the OG rim as well as figure out a spoke length calculator without further delay!
I can not find the original purchase pictures (2017) but I'll keep looking.
