Hi, mates!
My name is Vladimir (I give up! You can call me Vlad
), I am from St. Petersburg, Russia, which is only 200 miles away from, for example, Helsinki.
I recon previously no man from Russia ever entered the competition, so, i guess, i have to either win or at least get the podium in order to state that russians can build too lol
Sooooooooo, since we have fair crisis with classic frames and parts, i will enter with generic lowrider frame,
here's a pic provided by supplier:
here's a pic of how it used to be built:
Initially i've bought it for my wife but then she proved that she cannot ride bikes in russian road realities (believe me, mates, it's preety scarry to be a biker here, lol). Frame remained in my crates for fair two years without any use and then i gathrered all my balls in hand and desided to enter RRBBO.
What i intended to do is to prove that there MIGHT be bolt-on stretching, so i'' do my best to complete the build without any welding. BUT! If bike would be non-ridable then i''l weld all the parts to the frame. This build is going to be rather slow, i''be honest, but i'll really do all my best to complete the build by August.
NOW. 40 minutes ago i've finally got some inspiration and mocked up something that i''l use as main concept, take a look, mates!
yeah, forgot to mention that pics would be taken from random cameras or phones, cos i have no my own one, sorry in advance.
Ok, i've done it and there's no way back.
Cheers from [not actually] snowy Russia!
PS. We had snow falling today. Entire 15 minutes of the snowfall, lol!
