Are you in?

I got what I wanted but now I'm not sure View attachment 211218View attachment 211217View attachment 211216
It's not screaming "off road" to me yet and those maple leaf graphics are too cool to paint over

I dunno MattI!!!!!! - some big-box knobby or Maxxis 2.1 mtb tires and a set of straight bars would go a long way! Stick a cool crank and chainring on there…. I think you’re good!

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Skinny tire cruiser maybe you can miss the deadline on two.

Let's be reasonable here...

That's what I've been telling him

hum I have a set of fix gear wheels collecting dust. screaming at me to do a skinny tire build. but way to many frame options laying around. not sure what to use?

That would make a cool camel back klunker with that original paint and some retro parts. Especially if it will fit 2.125 tires. I like the stem, patina and maple leaves. Dig it!

I like the yellow frame. That could make a pretty sharp skinny.

 

[Ulu]

OK I lied. I bought a new bottom bearing set & chain today, for one of the contest bikes that I have not declared yet.

We’ll see how long I can hold out before I start ignoring the cars. I am prevaricating because I know the car will be difficult compared to building a bicycle.

 

[Captain Awesome]

Oh you know I'm gonna build a exaggerated time trials bike in the Skinny class. (I heard it's the newest thing and I'm all about the fashion...) Still working on a good name/theme tho...
Maybe a faux sponsored bike...

 

[Ulu]

It wasn’t long guys. The mechanics muse started whispering in my ear and so I stripped down lady’s Flyer yesterday.

I am dreaming of a build for this bike but it’s not going to fit normally into any of those three categories. I’m gonna have to shoehorn it into one of them sideways.

Somehow I think it’s going to end up being a frankenmusclebike with some custom frame work.

The vision is not clear yet.

 

[Ulu]

I think this is gonna end up as a skinnymuscleFrankencycle. I posted some updates on it in my Western Flyer thread, and I did actually start working on this October 1.

Here is some skinny tire motivation

 

[The Renaissance Man]

Here's my 700c skinny before skinny was cool.

The 'Columbia Convertible Commuter' was from the summer build-off back in 2015 and started life as a girls Firebolt.

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Skinny was cool then too but most didn't have your vision

 

[ingola]

That bike is awesome that was before I was here

 

[DesmoDog]

I may be in... awaiting the official ruling on a rear hub...

Ah, what am I saying. I already ordered the fork so I'm in.

Long story short this afternoon I decided to build my Typhoon up as an MTB rather than a cruiser. It should fit in the off road category now, though it may have a 3 speed coaster hub in it's future since I rebuilt the 2 speed before the build off start date.

Thanks Carl

To be in,or not to be in And what section?
I purchased a new bike(like I need another bike, like I need another hole in my head).
Something came up used and cheap, so I grabbed it. I still want to do Butterball Bandit. But this is a folding step thru frame,and my idea was to convert it as simply as possible,oh and it is a steel frame not a alu. I need a name for it. butterball needs time and that could go into the offroad class.

 

[Karate Chicken Industries]

Skinny is as Cool as you want it to be.

 

[The Renaissance Man]

Thinking about it.
