BUILD OFF #7 DISCUSSION

[Critter1]

There are always some cool parts on most RRB builds, but I don't think I have ever seen a parts list for any of the builds.

What are you building with? Sometimes it's easy for the rest of us to miss some of the cool parts that you are using.

LACKLUSTER line up..

-1963 Columbia Newsboy Special frame, guard, crank, sprocket.
-Murray rat-trap springer.
-One Monark deep fender to make both fenders on the bike.
-No name rims found in a scrap pile with Suntour coaster & rusty spokes.
-Jerald Sulky 2.125 slicks.
-Wald prewar kick stand.
-Prewar coke bottle grips.
-Cheap chrome moon bars, chopped.
-Brooks B-72 worn leather saddle.
-Profile Racing stem.
-Odyssey Triple Trap pedals.
-Kool chain.
-Custom theft deterrent B0-07 WARNING badge.

Now this is fun! It's pretty cool seeing the lists and then later going back to the builds and playing where's "WALD"-O.

One drawback to my new build mascot is that he uses his Illudium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator and ACME Disintegration Pistol to hunt bunnies

I have a question Mein Fuhrer. Since bunnies are now against the rules, can we widen the rules on using other cute animals to bump threads?

Had I been drinking near the end when "not the bunnies", I'd have spit it all over the screen and keyboard. :mrgreen:

 

[Xcruiser]

A parody about bunny thread bumping by the guy whos build off thread is more of a social extravaganza than a build.JK!! youthgeye,you cant help it that we love you!lol

I posted a kitten so Ive got immunity!!!!!

HiaWhatThe-
1. Crusty junk
2. fat tire
3.more crusty junk
4.2 gallons of elbow grease
5.box of scrub pads
6.more extra crusty junk
7.a pound of head scratching
8. a ton of special order frustration

 

[Critter1]

XCruiser-

#2... Is that beer or actual tires?

#4... 2 gallons?!?!? Where do you get the industrial size? All I can find are the trial size and I keep running out!!

#7... I hear the "frustration" from over seas can get kinda pricey! Good thing we try to always buy domestic!

 

[big kountry]
