Countdown to RRBBO-9! ...START!

Yeah I got some figurin' to do but I'm guessing 24" wheels will gain me some room and the 26" frame has some clearance already so.... woohoo we'll see!

It's definitely not a contest winner but it'll be a blast to ride in a parade.

If i can find an AMF cantilever (frame only) in my price range

i have just about everything to do a mix between a vintage and modern little 500 style bicycle

I had other bikes i wanted to enter but i dont think i can get the neaded parts in time

Someone should pick up this from Ebay and build up a bike from it.

Plans are cheap.

I have several, just need to choose one when the time arrives. I learned last year that my plans can change without notice!

Yep. Nothin' like climbing out of a canoe mid rapids and into an innertube....

They are really into the aerodynamics too. One guy is wearing sleek white dress shoes and the other is wearing chuckies with the laces tied on the back for less drag.

KF, look up the little 500. I'm planning on building one of these bikes. You'd enjoy the history of it.

That is cool! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_500
Great to see that my fraternity won it a couple of years.

Not sure if it's as cool as the Georgia Tech Mini 500 race though!!! What do you think, @todhunter ?

Just watched a movie that had that race in it called Breaking Away (It is on Netflix).

The Mini 500 is a spectacle to behold!

Do the Cutters still have a team in the Little 500 every year?

I'm starting a new job at the end of the month, and probably won't have time to do the buildoff this year. Really bummed...
