That's okay Schinnray69. We've still a few months left before completion... :wink:
Just don't get yourself a cold. It'd be terrible if you'll have to start the new year sick...
Cheers,
Jeffrey
This is the frame I will be using for the build... Late 60's girls Western Flyer that has gone under the knife for a gender change...

It's an Electra replacement fork, fits 3" no problem.
how bout an Airstream/Art Deco Boardtracker Saltflatracer Caferacer Muscle/Dragbike built by ed roth style :mrgreen: oh and thatd need a t-shirt
garagegoon said:
Ah cool. Another frame to add to the list of possibities! 8) I love the custom work. Nice transformation! I can see that our futurebuild will be in good hands. But are you really sure you want to add your frame to the list? It's simillar (stylewise) to the black Higgins... Bare in mind that a big part of the costs the loose ends will generate eventually comes to the builders... Hope not, but looking back at The Rustrocket all the nuts 'n' bolts', washers, bearings, paint(!) and what-not were donated by the builders(' grandfather) ;-) We don't want you to do all the hard work AND donating main parts of the build...
Just a thought. Definately something to considder...

Haha, now that's a thought...
Combining styles is a lot of fun, although I don't think the luxurity (is that a word?) of the ArtDeco/Airstream style can be combined with the over the top carnivalstyle Ed Roth would've brought to the build...
SO..
This I could see happening though:
- "how bout an Airstream/Art Deco Boardtracker Saltflatracer Caferacer Muscle/Dragbike"
but also this:
- "how bout a Boardtracker Saltflatracer Caferacer Muscle/Dragbike built by ed roth style"

Somehow I wish more people would've come up with more, different ideas...
Still: Plenty of time!
American Vintage Bicycle Supply
Double Nickle
That would be a perfect frame for a boardtracker :wink:
@ Garagegoon.
If we eventually end up using your frame for the build be shure to take pics of the build-process!!! And ofcourse 'before'-pics. I hope you got some of those... In the end a complete history of the bike is preferred. It'll just add vallue...

I think we should wait and do a t-shirt build just like the Rust Rocket Deluxe was :wink:
yeah dont delete em and the have jeffery want em ....DUUHHHHH im still PO ed about thatherr_rudolf said:
i really dig all the input and ideas we have going on already ...i think musclebike/ed roth style would be great ...kinda freaky like lookin not ur normal muscle bike ...
but in the end i guess we have 2 wait and see what jeffery comes up with on a t-shirt ...LOL im sure it will b good whatever it is !!
Yep i agree t shirt first....Im getting one this time...and one of the RRD's if he does another run of them. But like any concept you have to have the art design something physical to give you the direction so that it keeps you pointed in that direction. Like a weather vane you always know where the winds coming from. With the art you always know what you need to do and where your going. If not it would be like a dog chasing its own tail....around and around and never getting anywhere.
Kinda like this paragraph I wrote I should have just stopped at T Shirt First.....oh well

Haha guys guys!
What makes you think there'll be a new t-shirt anytime soon? That is something we'll just have to leave up to the powers that be. However, picking out the bike from a possible new RRB shirt is a very smart thing to do. Bikes on the shirt will be true to the site therefor, the auctionbike will be true to the site. And because of the shirt you'll have that direct link to the site, creating a desirable object to auction off.
'Problem' is, we'll have to wait for the new shirt...
But that's not a bad thing. Not bad at all...
For now it's a good thing to generate a lot of ideas, and keep on not being set on anything. This is a community effort. By the community, for the community. (Remember our planning in post 1 or 2. We have LOTS of time.)
@ mikesbikes.
Haha, that was a funny story. In the end it worked out pretty good, even without your constructionpics. Me writing up the whole story you sent me created a beautiful page. One of my favorites. Ofcourse DoubleNickle/Dr. Tankensteins' awesome pic of that rack helped too...
:wink:
Look at me, telling you to be carefull going outside during bad weather... Seems I got some sort of terrible flu since yesterday, probably caught at a party last weekend. Almost 70% of my friends are laying sick in bed...

I agree :wink:
Personally I don't think a sidecar will help bring more money into the auction. Au contraire...
In the end, there'll be more people looking for 'just a bike' than people looking for 'some sidecar-concoction'.
Also, I seldom saw a sidecar (or any three wheeled bicycle) that looked really good. Although there are definately some good examples on this forum that fit right in here, I don't think that a three wheeled bike is the best way to 'describe what this site is all about'.
Keep it simple but unique, and keep it true to the site.
Let's just build a hotrod

Resurrecting this thread. If whoever is doing the build wants my Ross frame, I'll mail it before the post office goes out of business, or jacks up postage.
yes, let's see if there is still some enthousiasm left over from the Build-off!
Who's gonna take the role of The Builder?
