Are you in?

[Endlesschain]

Im pretty much down for a skinny and a retro/klunker build, if there's something I do know is I have stock of both of those or its easily got, these will be casual relaxed builds, nothing extreme but maybe something different from the land of the long white cloud

 

[Ulu]

. . . the land of the long white cloud

Chernobyl?

I may or may not be in this. I'd like to build another vintage (late 80s-early 90s) diamond frame race bike, but have not found a frame. But I do have a Husky frame (the Layoff Special from a previous BO) that I might convert to a BMX. Time, money, motivation, luck, desperation, will determine my participation.

here is the victim. Muscle bike. I have a bunch of part, but no idea where it is going. Should be fun.

so take a top line 90's BMX race bike and de evolve it back in to a stingray muscle bike. this sounds interesting.

Fun indeed, it's like a high budget version of the cheapo I did last year

 

[GuitarlCarl]

I'd stretch the rear end out and make a hill climber out of it.
No wait! I've been saving that idea for a build of my own...

 

[GuitarlCarl]

if you miss the curve on your muscle bike, does that turn it into an off road bike?

 

[Endlesschain]

Chernobyl?

Ha ha no, New Zealand

Aka Colorado klunkers!

That picture confirms it, Duck Norris is keeping the high bars, that is radness

 

[tucker]

it will have a banana seat and muscle bars, the curly kind, I forget the name of them. More info on Saturday

 

[kingfish254]

What class would this be in?

 

[MattiThundrrr]

What class would this be in?

MazdaFlyer Winterized Grocery Getter Class? Restrictions are a little tight, but that would be pretty great

ORM

Off Road Muscle

I guess if the skis were 40mm it could be in the Skinny class too?

 

[Wildcat]

Nope, less than 40mm according to the rules. But 1.5 is just under 40mm (1.57") so there's a chance. 38mm skids?

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Ah...only the TIRES have to be under 1.5" other than that it's an unlimited class. So ski on brother. That's how I'd read the rule.

I’ve been kicking that idea around for a while too…

I haven’t put tire chains in a bicycle since I delivered papers in Minnesota.

Actually it was just clothes line wrapped around the rear tire. I did run a front ski in the winter time though. I built it myself & until I figured out that it needed ribs to cut into the snow, it was impossible to steer.

If you’re gonna run a front ski it wants to have three ribs on it. At least two. Otherwise it will just slide out from under you when you try to lean the bike.
