Captain America, or Wonder Woman Build?
Maybe a gender bender and call it WCAW (Wonder Captain America Woman)
Of course! Just can't start building until May 1st.
Correct me if I am wrong, if I have to widen the seat and chain stays to fit a wider tire (24" x 3.0 Kenda Flame) that puts the build into the anything goes category? If that is the case it kind of sucks, but such will be life I guess.
I don't think that should put you into the anything goes in my opinion. How is your Punch Bobber comein along????
It depends. In past build offs I have seen ways that people did this that was within the rules and others that did it that was outside the rules.

27 Day Countdown to BONINE!
a super hero build off would be cool.
Hey guys, sorry if my questions have been answered elsewhere, but I didn't read all 19 pages.
I've been collecting parts all winter for a bike build, and I figure since I haven't started yet, I'd like to put my build in the build-off. It'll be a great motivation for me to finish it, and I'm a reader/lurker here but have never been in a build-off yet.
My questions are, how do I enter, and what are the rules? Do I just start a build thread on May 1st, or is it a bad idea to post in-progress pictures until it's done? Also, I remember reading somewhere that one buildoff stipulated you couldn't do any welding on the frame, but others were anything goes. What will the rules be this year, have they even been announced yet?
Thanks in advance for the low-down.
