BUILD OFF #7 DISCUSSION

[raggedjim]

Just looked over my short list of bikes to watch and I have at least 16 bikes I have been watching closely. This is if I don't change my mind, or someone really steps up in the next few weeks. I don't have a clue how I'm going to narrow this down to 3... :|

You mean 2, you don't know how you're going to narrow it down to 2, since you are giving me 1 vote. :wink:

A vote for my current build is a vote for G.I. JESSE JAMES. :wink:

You know... I see a lot of bikes that I look at and say to myself "i couldn't ride that for any distance. Part of my criteria for my vote is that that the bike must be rideable for myself or my 8 year old son. Some of these bikes don't meet that criteria... I think that some of the builds go to such an extreme for looks that they aren't even rideable. I'd need to do a bar crawl on your build to get my vote. :lol: Just sayin'... 8)

Did someone say Pub Crawl??? How about my UN-BIASED 8) favorite bike from last year!!!!!

Precisely.

Last year I rode my build-off bike (The 76er) almost 10 miles just taking finished photos of it.

And you had a blast doing it too, didn't you!!!

Yep, I haven't quit riding it, I even rode it down some trails (it wasn't a clunker, but a bike with fat tires should be able to go anywhere).

That's why I think it's cool that I'll have mine built (maybe some details left) and on vacation with me riding around Amish country hills in PA and some rails to trails with family.

You have to try and get a photo of a Pennsylvania Deutsch Spy with those apes while wearing his secret decapitating frisbee hat.

When your 5'6" a bike that looks comfortable to some doesn't fit.

I hope a recumbant doesn't win, even if it has white walls and a racoon tail...

That guy just looks like you would see him on "To Catch a Predator"
