BUILD OFF #5 IS COMING

[Skipton]

When ever it starts I am in :mrgreen:

 

[DGuff]

For a new guy who wants in can you explan the rules. I have an idea in my warped brain and want to make sure it will fly. Thanks. Nevermind I found the thread.

 

[Rex Rattus]

one bike per person, but what about one person per bike? or can it be built in a team of two?

Count me innnnnnnn

I'd say it would be okay to have more than one person on a build if it's a Father/child situation.

After that you're sort of tipping the scales a bit.

Steve-
When is the offical start? April 1st or May 1st?

 

[Rat Rod]

I think I'm going to stick with May 1st.

It makes more sense to start then.

then we duel!


might i suggest an offchute for builders of the same town? i know that would more qualify for the "build challanges" area, but perhaps a challange for local bragging rights within the official buildoff? im sure there are at least a few guys in here that happen to live in the same place.
say, two guys that both live in LA enter the official build off, however neither win, could they still compete with their entries for bragging rights of their city [or even state]?
reverse miss america type deal. overall winner, regional winners.

May 1st is good....

 

[dangratsdan]

May 1st, yep, I'm in.
I'm going to build a bike that I've been thinking about building for several years.
If you've seen some of my bikes, and you know about my other hobbies, you might understand. It could be a stretch of the imagination, but well within the RRBBO rules.
Got to warn you, it could be tagged as silly and certainly a little fishy.
I can't hardly wait.

I've seen your work, Dan. Your creativity is off the charts. I'll be watching this one.

i am retired from the build off for now. i got my hands full with sensor and his challenge he laid down. but i will be watching for sure good luck to all.

 

[stretch]

yeah steve. im planning on finishing my goose project for the build off. its just a small pile of parts, so i hope its acceptable.

 

[2WheelFlyer]

Hmmm... still have some time to come up with an excuse to tell my wife... :roll:

 

[Markm]

I have a frame that I cut the seat tube down on awhile back, is that still acceptable? Wish I had'nt cut it now. :|

 

[weekend-fun]

Hey guys... i have a JC HIggins 1955 womans crusier that has a motor on it.. would this count?

 

[Skipton]

Markm
3. Must use factory frame....no altering of original frame structure
(grinding off fender tabs and cutting seat tube height is okay, just no major frame design changes).
I think you R good to go :wink: :mrgreen:

 

[Markm]

excellent.... :mrgreen:

 

[icyuod2]

i've got a question. if i use a custom frame of a previously built ride, and turm it into a trike, does this count as a foctory frame?

if it will help i can hang a "bicycle factory" sign in the basement. :lol:

 

[xddorox]

I just had a flash. I'm using this odd looking thing on a regular basis. It's got a lot of real estate to customize, so I'm in.

I'll be gathering parts and material for fabrication.
