ALL BAGGED UP

Started with an old frame and stretched it out, moved the seat back. Found the bags being thrown away, made everything from scratch
Rattle can paint.under $150.00 total investment. One of many I've built for my personal collection

• Start a new thread in the forum’s Build Off 16 section and use the bike name as the post “Subject/Title.” Keep a running journal in your thread about your build.
• Must include before, progress, and finished photos (all in one thread please)

Here is the Build Journal sub forum where you need to post your work.

Then post finished pics here in the Finished Bikes sub forum

You need to put this in a build thread and show your work steps before putting it here in the Finished section.

My apologies. I just discovered the website. I wasnt familiar with the rules.

Again not good at this don't even know how to edit my post so not mad at you just feeling frustrated with my self. Didn't mean to come off like that. Don't want to brake the rules.

No worries. No harm no foul. If you'd like to stay, simply follow what Kingfish outlined and then I can come in here and clean up this thread for you. Delete the junk and get you all squared away

You'll be missing out if you dip out now. Lots of cool stuff around these parts and we'd definitely like to see more of yours. Make an introduction thread in the new members section and tell us about yourself

Yeah, you jumped in with a deadline looming: we're two days out from the finish of the biggest event of the year. Everyone is turned up to eleven right now.

 

[tat_bikes]

New to site but dig what is all about. Looking forward to next one. Hopefully I'll be better with the sire and rules! Glad to be apart of this!

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Browse through the finished threads. You'll see what folks have been up to all summer. Some pretty awesome stuff

I'm new to your site but I've built 3 since May. Is there a limit to enter in the contest?

1 bike per class

 

[tat_bikes]

Cool next year one for both. Thanks your a blessing on my side. Going to have to become a member when my kid gets here

 

[tat_bikes]

Hey captain awesome can I add a new pic? I got excited and built and installed a new front end assembly to mount my light to and painted to match bike. So motivated now. Just bought next year's project to put away for class 1 next year. Same schedule for build off I hope.

Yep. But you still need to get your build thread and content posted up before your finished bike can be considered

 

[tat_bikes]

How do I get to that? My kid didn't make it here I'm lost.

Go to this link

Start a build thread in there. A whole new thread. Call it the same build name on both threads

Follow the basic outline of some of the others in there. Put your details and photos in some chronological order. Sorta lay out the timeline on everything. The more detail the better
