Anybody sniffing BO 19 in the air?

[Chad T]

What’s the rest of it look like

Would get disassembled and I want to make it more of a cruiser. Only rub/gray area is I want to make another attempt at removing the finish which I failed to do the first time. (Was actually hospitalized for a couple weeks during this BO). If I ended up succeeding I probably wouldn’t submit it for voting. Not much of a serious competitor for these anyway but understand if it’s not in the spirit of the build off.

Anything to get @Chad T back in the build off fold!
RaT oN~!

It’s been a while. Haven’t played with bikes in a while. Son is driving now but I’m still a child.

Spoke sorter. Wanted to keep the blade spokes oriented to their original positions. Wasn’t going to be a tank or anything cool like that. Maybe a fairing tho.

Whaaaat? I go into these with no hope of winning - mine are restorations / refurbishments - and there are guys here that build bicycles from bits of tubing.

As I've said many times - It's goobers with bicycles. It's fun, friendly and a bit of fitness. Winning is getting another bike to ride.

I'd love to see that transformation!

Clue #5. Something in the 'rear view mirror'...

This looks like a very cool bike. Will it be sturdy enough for a Clydes-job/Odds-dale? Can’t wait for the Rustard treatment.

2 DAYS TO GO

I took the trike for a short, pre-work commencement ride this morning - man is it scary! Gonna be awesome.

Guessing from your word-sequence there it'll be fun scary

Aye. What made it worse was it currently has no brakes - I cut the cables to get it in the car. It only has front brakes x 2 anyway - rim and drum - but it will be Terri-fun - till I get the mojo.

It's the same with Harley trikes when I ride them occasionally - it takes a while to forget riding a bike - and operate it like a car. Once the penny drops they are great fun.

This was the last one I tested - I love 'em - but they take some getting used to.

Anyone have a good source for 24x3.0 tires? I have found some with whitewalls but I'd like creme if I could find them. They are available in Germany but shipping is close to $200, so no-go.

I think I have some 24x3" used will sell cheap.

 

[Brian macumber]

Dug out most of the parts I might be using on my class 1 build

Not sure which rim set or fenders yet.

Grocery getter, @Brian macumber ?

Yeah that or news paper delivery had the baskets laying around and don't have something like that now so why not lol.

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Have something I’d like to participate with. Kind of a re-do but was never finished properly and would like to take it in a different direction.

Some of you regulars might recognize it. This is what I would be starting with.

Would be the only option for me as funds are tight but did order some new shifters so something will happen with it.

I don't see why not. I tear old builds apart and redo them often enough...

 

[Captain Awesome]

Getting down to the wire

Tomorrow night. US central time. Get ready to rumble

 

[kingfish254]

JUST 1 MORE DAY TO GO!
